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.
