Health Disparities- HIV/AIDS
The Positive Places is a sub-committee of the Health Disparities Committee of the Metro Washington Public Health Association. We are working to form a greater coalition of local organization with the goal of ending the wait for those on the list for HOPWA funding. As a group of change-agents, we try to empower DC community residents, advocates, and lawmakers to end the wait list for over 440 people with HIV/AIDS in DC who are entitled for housing, Since we believe stable housing improves the health and quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS as well as decreases transmission rates and protects the public. Our online petition is a way to show D.C. metropolitan residents' support for housing efforts for people living with HIV/AIDS. Support our cause and Sign our Online Petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/positiveplacesdc?e Visit our website for more information: http://positiveplacesdc.weebly.com/
