This initiative aimed to increase permanent, affordable housing resources for individuals and families with HIV/AIDS and to promote integration of supportive service options for difficult-to-serve people living with HIV/AIDS in Seattle/King County, Washington. The 18-month planning effort developed and tested more effective solutions for people with HIV/AIDS who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, have histories of mental illness, chemical addiction, and/or other chronic health problems, and have criminal justice involvement. The report addresses systems fragmentation, defined gaps and barriers, presents the AHSSI model, and describes how to effectively utilize the report.
