Living Rooms mission is to ensure people living with HIV/AIDS in Georgia obtain and maintain long term stable housing, while continuing to play a vital role in the lives of homeless and marginally housed people living with HIV/AIDS. Through our three Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Programs, the agency provided ongoing housing and utility subsidy for 208 households in 25% of the counties of the state of Georgia. Of these, 187 households received support in the 28-county metro Atlanta region, while 21 households received support in the 11-county northwest Georgia region. The agencys Intake Program conducted over 1,500 intake appointments, to provide short term mortgage or utility assistance to 198 households; permanent housing placement (first months rent assistance) to 117 households, and emergency lodging / recuperative care to 209 households. Living Room remains one of the few programs that provides emergency lodging to medically fragile homeless people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as providing culturally competent housing services for people who have a substance abuse issue, mental illness, or are transgender through the Special Needs Housing Assistance TBRA Program.
