Jerusalem House the city’s largest housing provider for low-income people with HIV was late paying January rent for over 400 of its clients because the City of Atlanta was months behind on reimbursing the non-profit.
It’s the latest chapter in the city’s years-long struggle to clean up its dysfunctional Housing Opportunities for People With AIDS (HOPWA) program. An inefficient process sometimes requiring 3,000 pages of documentation for each monthly reimbursement request is partly to blame, according to Jerusalem House Executive Director Charlie Frew.
