Roving Housing Resource Specialists.What is the AHIP Roving Housing Resource Program?

The Roving Housing Resource Program is one of the programs operated by Eden I&R. It was developed to provide intensive, one-on-one case management regarding housing issues to people living with HIV/AIDS.

Why should clients seek help from the AHIP Roving Housing Resource Specialist?

The Rover is very knowledgeable about all housing issues. The Rover has connections with many landlords and property management companies throughout Alameda County, plus access to Eden I&R's specialized housing database that lists hundreds of affordable housing units, as well as housing designed specifically for people living with HIV/AIDS.

The Rover can also give clients referrals to community resources such as food, furniture, deposit assistance, medical resources and other valuable information. Assistance with obtaining and interpreting credit reports is also provided.

When should clients seek assistance from the AHIP Roving Housing Resource Specialist?

Clients should not wait until right before they need to move! Alameda County has a very tight rental market so it is important to start looking several months before planning to move. The Rover can help clients get on waiting lists or work on getting their credit up to par.

Waiting lists can be quite long, and they open and close quickly. It is important to get on them as soon as possible and far in advance to needing housing. Even if clients are not looking for housing now, they can get on these lists. The Rover can tell clients which lists are open and for how long, and assist them with getting on these lists.
