HIV Housing Toolkit
Nine online modules provide resources on housing, stigma, and tenant rights for people with HIV.
Developed as part of the community-based research study Positive Living, Positive Homes (PLPH), which examined the experiences of health and housing of people living with HIV in three case study sites in BC: Kamloops, Prince George, and Greater Vancouver.
Strategies and resources included in the HIV Housing Toolkit emerged from interviews with people living with HIV
Topics of the modules include Choosing and Moving Into Housing; HIV, Stigma, and Housing; and Trouble-Shooting Tenant Problems. Each module contains resources, including downloadable graphics, to support their contents.
People with lived and living experience of HIV were deeply involved in reviewing and shaping the content, ensuring it reflects real-world needs and perspectives.
Support for Positive Living, Positive Homes and the HIV Housing Toolkit was provided by the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, CIHR, REACH, and the University of Victoria.
