Housing has long been the single largest area of unmet need for people living with HIV/AIDS, and there are few published descriptions of programs that address this need. This paper describes Project New Hope in Los Angeles, California, a faith-based program that may be the nation's first housing program exclusively designed for people with HIV/AIDS. We discuss why housing is important for HIV positive people; then we describe the project, including how it got started, how it operates, its linkage with the Episcopal Church, and its principal accomplishments and challenges; finally, we conclude with lessons learned that might be applied elsewhere.
长期以来，住房一直是艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者未得到满足的最大需求领域，而且针对这一需求的项目鲜有公开描述。本文介绍了加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的“新希望项目”，这是一个基于信仰的项目，可能是美国首个专门为艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者设计的住房项目。我们讨论了住房对艾滋病毒呈阳性者为何重要；然后描述了该项目，包括它是如何启动的、如何运作的、与圣公会的联系以及其主要成就和挑战；最后，我们总结了可应用于其他地方的经验教训。
