Women's Housing
Women and Children Housing program is designed to provide permanent, safe, affordable, and supportive housing services as a medical intervention to women and their dependent children living with HIV/AIDS in New York City. Women come to our women’s housing programs from shelters, hospice/hospitals, over crowed family settings, and other housing situations that are simply inappropriate and inadequate for them and their children. In addition to being improperly housed women come in with inadequate medical care, food, and psychiatric care. They are often unable to maintain consistent HIV/AIDS follow up or keep up with medications and treatment protocols.
The Women’s Housing Program provides ongoing clinical care to the participants for the length of their enrollment with our program. Additionally, the Program provides supportive services and referrals for its participants/family members. The Program uses as a source for referral, the agency’s licensed Article 28 Adult Day Health Care services so that continuity of care and information gathering/sharing is expedited; the agency also utilizes outside service providers for referrals should indicated care not be available through programs currently available at Harlem United.
The Program’s eight (8) staff members work collaboratively to serve the participants using an array of integrated therapies, models of care, and treatment plans that are designed to address the full range of client needs and concerns. In addition to living with HIV/AIDS, many of our program members are chemically addicted, mentally ill, victims of domestic violence, or experiencing other problems in living that constitute barriers to keeping permanent housing and stable health care.
