Transitional Housing and HIV Health

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the implementation and outcomes of the Arms Around You (AAY) program, a supportive housing initiative launched by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) in 2024. The program aims to address housing instability among people with HIV (PWH) using a Housing First model. The main questions it seeks to answer are: 1. How does AAY affect HIV-related outcomes, particularly viral suppression and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence? 2. What are the program's effects on economic, psychological, and secondary health outcomes? 3. How feasible, acceptable, and scalable is the program for broader implementation? Participants will be assigned to immediate program access or a waitlist using a random lottery system, creating treatment and control groups, respectively. Surveys and health data will be collected at baseline and over 36 months to assess changes in outcomes such as viral suppression, housing security, mental health, and financial well-being. Qualitative interviews with participants and stakeholders will complement quantitative findings to explore mechanisms of change and guide program optimization.
