5 What is EHPA? A pilot housing program, administered by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) Enhanced version of traditional Housing Placement Assistance (HPA) programs (i.e., housing specialist assists client to prepare for and find independent housing) Target population is chronically homeless PLWHA living in emergency SROs in NYC Short term Standard HPA Referral and connection to services made as needed Clients closed postplacement (a few months) Long term Enhanced HPA Support services provided weekly and then monthly, for up to 1 year Clients remain open for 1 year post-placement

6 Evaluation of EHPA Recruitment directly from emergency SROs in NYC Random assignment to either EHPA or Usual Care (referral to traditional HPA program) Baseline, six, and twelve month interviews Program evaluation data is linked to other available data sources at DOHMH: HIV/AIDS Surveillance Registry, housing data, service utilization data Mitigates some issues with loss to follow-up

7 Primary Longitudinal Outcomes Housing stability HIV health care Risk behaviors Placement No. and % of months spent in stable housing 6- and 12- month housing retention No. of moves Gaps in stable housing Engagement and retention in care Sustained viral suppression Stable/improved CD4 counts Antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence Decreased substance use or increased harm reduction techniques Decreased risky sex behaviors

8 Evaluation Timeline Apr 2012 Apr 2013 Informed consent Random assignment Baseline interview Oct 2012 Oct month interview Apr 2013 Apr month interview Qualitative portion Recruitment 6 months 12 months

9 Recruitment for EHPA Randomized list of NYC emergency SROs and visited each in order Approached rooms in ascending order Continued to return to each SRO to try and get response from rooms that had not previously answered doors Obtained informed consent from eligible participants Provided emergency food vouchers as incentive

10 SRO Eligibility/Recruitment Individuals were eligible if they reported: Symptomatic HIV/CDC-defined AIDS diagnosis Current residence in emergency SRO Ability to live independently without home health aide Recruited clients from 18 SROs in NYC 236 clients eligible and enrolled (from April 2012 to April 2013) 119 in EHPA 117 in HPC

11 Baseline Survey Survey took minutes Conducted in participants room or other private, comfortable space in emergency SRO Collected data on: Basic demographics Housing/homelessness history History of incarceration Sexual behaviors Drug and alcohol use Antiretroviral therapy (ART) use and adherence Social service history Social network history

29 CLINICAL INDICATORS

30 HIV Care Outcomes 100% 90% 93% Total N = % 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 24% 41% 51% * 20% 10% 0% HIV care visit, past 6 mos Perfect ART adherence, past 3 days Viral suppression at baseline CD4 >350 cells/µl The vast majority of participants are engaged in care, but only 41% are virally suppressed.

31 Conclusions EHPA participants have experienced high levels of instability including homelessness and histories of incarceration Most participants have histories of chronic homelessness punctuated by short episodes of stable housing, indicating that individuals can secure permanent housing but are unable to maintain it Despite consistent engagement in HIV primary care, homeless PLWHA have poor health outcomes the majority are not virally suppressed and have a mental health disorder There are high self-reported rates of drug usage among homeless PLWHA Homeless PLWHA are using harm reduction practices (i.e., using clean needles and not sharing works) and most report zero or only one sexual partner

32 Discussion This data reflects the complex needs of this chronically homeless population and the need to further assess existing service delivery models to better serve this population While access to and retention in HIV primary care is high, homeless clients struggle with viral suppression and chronic mental illness, indicating the need for interventions beyond primary medical care The pattern of cycling between independent housing and homelessness indicates that independent living may not be a sustainable housing option for all chronically homeless PLWHA Need to preserve and increase supportive housing Need to develop strategies to better engage chronically homeless PLWHA and directly connect them to permanent supportive housing
