Housing projects

create+equity project

Our program is part of the create+equity project. The project is an 18-month learning collaborative created by the Center for quality improvement and innovation. The goals are to improve health outcomes for people living with HIV by reducing barriers related to the social factors of health.

As a participant in this collaborative, we are focused on improving housing access and coordination of care for people living with HIV in the Twin Cities metro area.

There is a study about the challenges people living with HIV experience in getting housing and maintaining positive health outcomes. This data from the study will help improve access to services for HIV and housing.

For questions or feedback about this project, contact Aurin Roy at aurin.roy@hennepin.us.

Low-barrier housing technical workgroup

This workgroup was created in September 2021 in response to the HIV outbreak in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, which is significantly affecting people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. The goal of the workgroup is to address housing-related challenges for people living with HIV and slow the transmission of HIV associated with the outbreak.

Beginning in February 2022, the workgroup sponsored a project to collect information about the challenges that people living with HIV experience when trying to get or maintain their housing. The data gathered from this project will be used to inform the workgroup and improve housing access in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties.

The workgroup is conducting interviews with people living with HIV to learn about their experiences with housing.

For questions or feedback about this project, contact Aurin Roy at aurin.roy@hennepin.us.
