HIV and Housing: Toward a National Housing Strategy

Reflecting the objectives of the national strategy to address HIV/AIDS: Leading Together: Canada Takes Action on HIV/AIDS (CPHA, 2006) the Canadian AIDS Society (CAS) is committed to reducing inequity, stigma and other social factors driving the epidemic by working with all levels of government, community AIDS and other social service organizations, and people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Recognizing housing as one these social determinants of health, CAS desires to achieve measurable improvements in access to appropriate, accessible, and comprehensive housing, as well as other health and social services, which are integral to both HIV prevention and improving the health and well-being of people living with HIV/AIDS.
