HIVCM provides comprehensive case management services to persons living with HIV. Although our case management services focus on housing, we also assist with medical, dental, mental health and substance abuse services and treatment; disability and Medicaid assessment and applications; food stamp applications, referrals for furniture and clothing as well as other services and needs identified by our clients. Our clients are very diverse, some of our clients have many needs and some simply need a person with whom they feel comfortable talking. Our case managers establish good relationships with their clients to ensure the relationship is beneficial to the client. We hope to assist our clients in becoming independent and successful.

Assessing Eligibility

Potential clients must be HIV positive, live in the service area (counties of Richland, Lexington, Fairfield, Kershaw, Calhoun or Saluda) and cannot be receiving housing case management from another HIV service provider.  If a client has received financial services from another HIV housing provider, there is generally a 12 month waiting period before a client can transfer agencies.

As our focus is on housing, we seek to assist clients in obtaining and maintaining housing. Through stable housing, our clients will be able to better manage medical and other health related issues, as well as complete or continue their education (if they so desire) and become employed to ensure a level of independence.
