Unlimited Transportation Passes for Unstable Housed People Living With HIV Trial

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV

In brief

The goal of this trial is to learn if providing an unlimited transit pass will improve the health of people living with HIV that are experiencing unstable housing. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do participants who are provided the transit pass manage their HIV better? 2. Do participants who are provided the transit pass use other social services more that could improve their health and quality of life? Researchers will compare the group that is provided with the transit pass to a control group that is not provided with the pass. Participants will fill out a baseline survey and a follow-up survey after 6 months. Researchers will also look at participant's HIV lab tests to see how well their HIV is being managed.

You may qualify if…

• • Member of The Aliveness Project
• • Live, reside, or stay regularly outside within the 13 county area surrounding the Twin Cities known in the Ryan White system as the MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL TRANSITIONAL GRANT AREA or TGA. This is the same general area as the area where Metro Transit serves, which makes it a convenient reference.
• • Be a person experiencing unstable housing or homelessness
• Because the residence and housing status of this group rapidly shifts -hence unstable--the following definition of unstable housing was developed in collaboration with Aliveness\'s housing stabilization team, which serves this population:
• Meet one of three criteria:
• Currently reports living in one of the following housing conditions:
• Outside, in a car, or another space unfit for human habitation
• A homeless shelter
• Temporary housing with a friend or relative (couch hopping) to which they do not have long-term stable access.
• Currently lives in a temporary group home or substance abuse treatment program, but lived in one of the above housing conditions prior to entry within the last three months.
• Is listed in the CAREWare database system as being homeless or having temporary or unstable housing.

You may not qualify if…

• • Inability to provide informed consent
• Inability to communicate in English
• Not an Aliveness member in good standing: Some Aliveness members have been banned from the space because of behavioral or safety concerns. Aliveness\'s Member Advisory Committee reviews all such expulsions on a case-by-case basis.
