HOUSING AS HEALTHCARE

The AIDS Resource Foundation for Children is taking exciting new steps toward addressing the housing shortage in our area, especially for vulnerable families who need supportive care.  In May 2009, the ARFC purchased an additional 9 units of affordable and desirable housing in the Newark area which will be supported by our comprehensive services.  The families in ARFC's homes will continue to receive holistic assistance and have access to community resources, as well as medical and mental health services.

 As our organization continues to serve the medically fragile children of NJ and provide help to families impacted by HIV/AIDS, we continue to adapt and address the timely and relevant needs of our communities.  The problem of chronic homelessness, and the fear of becoming homeless, has grown over thea past several years.  When instability in housing is coupled with health concerns and a strict treatment regimen requiring refrigeration and regular meals, the issue of losing one's home becomes truly life-threatening.

The ARFC's housing initiative is working to address those concerns with partners on the State, County, and City levels, as well as private entities who understand the mission and have offered their assistance.  The organization has plans to see over 45 units of affordable housing become available in the coming year, all with support services for the families moving in.  It is our hope that with appropriate housing and assistance, our families will be stronger, more stable, and better equipped for self-sufficiency.  This undertaking would not be possible without the collaborative effort from all stakeholders and community members.
