Clare Housing
At Clare Housing, we envision an AIDS-free world built on a foundation of equitable access to housing and health care. We're creating that vision by working towards our mission to provide a continuum of affordable and supportive housing options that create healing communities and optimize the health of people living with HIV. Imagine being homeless. With no job, and no food to eat, you’re not sure where you’ll rest your head tonight. Now imagine you have HIV. This is the reality that faces many people in Minnesota today. It’s easy to imagine why people in this situation struggle to take the medications they need to keep healthy. The results of this situation are dire, sometimes deadly: Poor health Disability and the inability to work Increased costly emergency room visits Increased high-risk sexual behavior and drug use Fortunately, we have an answer. We know how to solve this problem. Research has proven that providing supportive housing and access to health care increases the odds of people sticking to complex drug treatments, improves health outcomes, and decreases use of emergency and hospital services. Additionally, people who are stably housed demonstrate significant reductions in behaviors associated with HIV transmission including high-risk sexual behavior and drug use. There is an answer. We can house those who are homeless and living with HIV. You can be a part of that solution today by educating yourself on the state of HIV by attending one of our Journey Home programs.
