Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between HASA scattered-site and supportive housing?
- Scattered-site HASA housing means private-market apartments where the tenant lives independently and HASA pays the landlord directly. Supportive housing combines permanent housing with on-site services — case management, medical care, mental health — typically in dedicated buildings.
- Which Manhattan organizations provide HASA supportive housing?
- Major Manhattan HASA supportive housing providers include Housing Works, Bailey House, Harlem United, and ACQC. Each operates one or more buildings with on-site services for HIV-positive tenants. Eligibility and waitlist times vary.
- Can my HASA case continue if I move within Manhattan?
- Yes. HASA cases continue when clients move within NYC. You should notify your case manager of any move so they can update your case file and ensure rent payments continue without interruption.
