Reimbursement Delays Continue To Take Toll On Atlanta’s HIV/AIDS Housing Program, Advocates Say

HOPE Atlanta is one of the providers receiving federal dollars from the city as part of the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS program. The nonprofit finds apartments and then pays the rent. But while HOPE Atlanta keeps covering that rent. The city hasn’t kept its end of the deal.

The city of Atlanta is in charge of millions of dollars in federal funding meant for housing people with HIV and AIDS.

But advocates say that money is not getting to the service providers who need it, simply because of bureaucracy. And that could be preventing more people from receiving help.

Nonprofits have told the city there’s a problem.
