Transitional Housing Program

Recent government statistics estimate that while 0.3 percent of the general population is living with HIV, 3.1 percent of the homeless population in America is HIV positive. Canticle Ministries is trying to address that staggering statistic by providing transitional housing to people living with HIV/AIDS in DuPage and Kane counties.

The Canticle Ministries Transitional Housing Program serves people living with HIV/AIDS in the DuPage County/Fox Valley area who are homeless or at risk for homelessness. Funded by HUD's Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) grants program through the City of Chicago Department of Public Health, and currently able to serve 20 individuals and families, this transitional program is designed to decrease client dependence on rapidly dwindling HIV-specific services and help clients achieve the greatest level of health and independence as possible through support, empowerment, accountability, and a commitment to living a healthy lifestyle.

Applications for the transitional Housing Program are available from county health departments, case managers and on the Canticle Ministries website. For information or if you would like to get involved in any way, please contact us at 630-588-9165.
