Since
2001, our innovative HIV/TB Housing and Case Management Program has
helped individuals coping with dual infection to initiate treatment and
obtain sustainable housing to support their health.
The
program is staffed by a case manager who coordinates housing and
subcontracts HIV/TB medical management to the National TB Center at
Harlem Hospital. Services provided as part of this multidisciplinary
team patient-management approach, include: TB case finding and contact
investigation; housing placement and short-term rental assistance;
HIV/TB medical management and directly observed therapy; case
management; health education; and referrals for additional supportive
services.
Clients enrolled in our HIV/TB program are also served by our legal,
medical interpretation, food and nutrition, and support group programs.
