North American Housing and HIV/AIDS Research Summit VI
Eliminating HIV Health Disparities:
Is Housing the Key to Ending the AIDS Crisis?
New Orleans, Louisiana
September 21 - 23, 2011
The National
AIDS Housing Coalition (NAHC) and the Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN), in
collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the
Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, are pleased to
convene the sixth Housing and HIV/AIDS Research Summit.
As the premiere
venue for informing HIV/AIDS housing policy, Summit VI will bring together
researchers, policy experts, consumers and providers of HIV/AIDS housing to
review findings from research and policy initiatives, discuss evidence-based
housing practice and policy, and develop community-driven research and advocacy
strategies.
The theme of
Summit VI is Eliminating HIV Health Disparities, with a focus on the
potential of housing strategies to address inequalities in HIV health outcomes
and to end the AIDS crisis by preventing new infections. Particular attention will be given to housing need and interventions among vulnerable populations and
underserved communities, including displaced persons, rural areas, and
resource-poor settings.
