AIDS Foundation of Chicago's supportive housing programs are collaborations of community-based social service providers that simultaneously care for the medical and housing needs of people who are chronically ill (with HIV or another chronic disease) and homeless. The project partners believe that when homeless individuals with chronic medical conditions are able to focus their energies on healing and maintaining their health, rather than coping with the challenging circumstances that arise from living on the streets and in shelters, their health will improve. CHHP is for individuals who have frequent hospitalizations.
