HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS HOPWA funds for Program Year 2011 -2012 will be utilized to undertake eligible activities to meet the needs of individuals living with HIV /AIDS that presently are not met by other public and private resources. To identify program gaps, a countywide survey to assess the needs for the region's HIV /AIDS population was conducted during the 2004 -2005 Program Year. This survey was a community -based planning effort that incorporated the input of interested community members including individuals living with HIV /AIDS, representatives of HIV /AIDS service and housing organizations, housing developers, representatives of local government agencies, advocates, and others. Relevant planning, housing, homelessness, and epidemiological data were reviewed and incorporated into the planning effort. Critical issues and service gaps were identified and an advisory committee developed recommendations. These findings have been used by the Housing Committee of the Orange County HIV Planning Council to develop a list of recommended activities for HOPWA funding during FY 2011 -2012, as well as the expenditure of over $5.5 million in Ryan White 04/21/2011 37 2010 -2011 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN Exhibit 1
