Homelessness Prevention
About Homelessness Prevention
Homelessness prevention is a critical part of AFC’s work to end homelessness. AFC believes that housing is health care and that every person has the right safe and decent housing. AFC’s housing strategies are not limited to increase the availability of affordable housing for low-income people living with HIV or chronic conditions, but it also includes financial assistance to prevent evictions and increase housing stability. Grounded in Housing First and Harm Reduction approaches, we connect residents to the resources they need to have a stable home. In fact, in 2022 alone, AFC connected more than 600 households to about $1m in emergency financial assistance.
If you are experiencing homelessness or housing instability and living with HIV? Call AFC at 312.922.2322 or email us at [email protected].
Are you in need of financial support for emergency eviction prevention and/or utility assistance and living with or vulnerable to HIV or on PrEP?
