13 Purpose of the Strategy The plan, called the Minnesota HIV Strategy (the Strategy), will provide a roadmap for coordinating efforts and resources to address HIV and lead towards the ultimate goal of eliminating HIV/AIDS in the state. All aspects of the Strategy are viewed through a health equity lens. 3/28/

14 Vision The vision of the Strategy is that by 2025, Minnesota will be a state where new HIV diagnoses are rare and all people living with HIV and those at high risk of HIV infection will have access to high quality health care and resources they need to live long healthy lives, free from stigma and discrimination.

15 Goals 1. Prevent new HIV infections 2. Reduce HIV-related health disparities and promote health equity 3. Increase retention in care for PLWH 4. Ensure stable housing for PLWH and those at high risk for HIV infection 5. Achieve a more coordinated statewide response to HIV 3/28/

16 Focus groups To learn from perspectives and opinions of participants To collect rich qualitative data through direct interaction between facilitators and participants To ensure MN HIV strategy priority recommendations are in line with the community needs To provide PLWH, high risk populations, Healthcare Professionals, Tribal Nations and government employees have their voices heard in the planning process of the MN HIV strategy 3/28/

23 Statewide HIV Housing Plan Vision By 2025, all people living with HIV have access to permanent affordable housing that respects the life they want to live. 3/28/

24 Housing Need Total Ryan White Clients Served 4288 Total Clients that indicated a housing status 3475 Unstable people Living With HIV in 2016 were in unstable/temporary housing. Temporary 678 Stable/Permanent /28/

25 Working in Tandem with the Minnesota HIV Strategy Goals Housing Units: Increase the supply of safe and affordable quality housing units for all people living with HIV throughout Minnesota Housing Stability: Ensure people living with HIV have access to the necessary support services to achieve long-term stability to maintain their desired housing Reliable, Useful Data: Promote the availability of reliable and useful data to inform decision-making, strategy development, and program accountability for PLWH and in particular, for traditionally underserved groups Sustainability: Build sustainable resources to create HIV specific affordable housing units and supportive services 3/28/

26 Why HIV Specific Housing Need - Persons living with HIV/AIDS are significantly more vulnerable to becoming homeless during their lifetime. HIV Prevention - Housing stabilization can lead to reduced risk behaviors and transmission. Improved treatment adherence - Homeless persons living with HIV/AIDS provided housing supports achieve improved medication adherence and health outcomes. 3/28/

27 Why HIV Specific Housing Reduction in HIV transmission - Stably housed people living with HIV/AIDS demonstrate reduced viral loads resulting in reductions in HIV transmission. Cost savings - Homeless or unstably housed persons living with HIV/AIDS are more frequent users of high-cost hospital-based emergency or inpatient services, shelters, and criminal justice systems. Discrimination and stigma - HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination add to barriers and disparities in access to appropriate housing and care along with adherence to HIV treatment. 3/28/
