The award-winning Scattered Site AIDS Permanent Housing Program is a unique private-public partnership including HMFA, the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, the New Jersey Department of Human Services, the Federal Home Loan Bank's Affordable Housing Program and Investors Savings Bank. The program established the first statewide community-based housing for homeless persons with HIV/AIDS, and was developed to respond to the overwhelming need for permanent affordable support-enriched housing for New Jersey residents with HIV/AIDS and their families. The project also received a Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund appropriation from the New Jersey Legislature. Non-profit sponsors are providing maintenance and social services. There are a total of 64 units in Camden, East Orange, Irvington, Newark, Orange and Trenton under this program.
