Details: The "New Beginnings" Housing Program provides 24 permanent scatter-site housing units for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. In addition to their medical diagnosis, 66% of participants have a co-occurring diagnosis of serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI)/serious emotional disturbance (SED) for children, and/or a substance dependence diagnosis. Scatter-site apartments are located on Staten Island; however, referrals to the program may come from citywide organizations and HASA. Individuals learn skills in negotiating tenant-landlord relations and in being good community neighbors, access medical services to promote efficient management of health care and corresponding medication regimens, and begin to normalize the use of mental health and psychiatric care, thus reducing the harmful effects of stigmatization. Services include service planning and coordination, apartment finding, apartment viewing and lease negotiations, permanent housing placement, counseling and assessment and service planning for adults and families
