HUD’s Office of HIV/AIDS Housing (OHH) and its partners are working to support Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) grantees and project sponsors to embrace and implement OHH’s new approach of Reset, Renew, Recharge (3R). 3R is an overarching strategy intended to enhance HOPWA program design and promote core values that will positively impact the lives and housing stability of people living with HIV/AIDS.
As part of the roll out of 3R, a series of webinars will provide grantees, project sponsors, and local communities with information on best practices and strategies to successfully introduce and operationalize 3R into their local HOPWA programs. Register today for the first webinar in the series, Permanent Housing Placement (PHP) – Getting in the Door.
Note: Prior to participating in this webinar series, it may be helpful to learn more about 3R by watching the recording of the 3R: A HOPWA Program Strategy Webinar held in 2022.
Objectives
- Provide a blueprint for HOPWA program design and core values
