Understanding the Impact of gentrification and Insecure Housing related to HIV Care Continuum in the Austin Transitional Grant Area (and other similar Urban Environments) Key: Bold = Main Point Underline = Subpoint 1) Introduction a) Defining the HIV Care Continuum b) Concern of Gentrification and insecure housing in large cities c) Literature Review Purpose i) To further explore challenges related housing and gentrification which impacts a person's ability to engage with the HIV care continuum ii) To discuss client characteristics that may make them more vulnerable to the challenges associated with insecure housing and gentrification iii) To explore how housing programs, like HOPWA, are being utilized 2) Gentrification and Insecure Housing a) Defining Gentrification i) As defined by the United States Housing and Urban Development - Office of Policy Development and Research, gentrification is a form of neighborhood change that occurs when higher-income groups move into low-income areas (HUD, 2017). This movement has the potential to alter the cultural and financial landscape of the original neighborhood. In the past decade, gentrification has been manifested into the “return to the cities” with redevelopment and investment of downtowns across the nation, including Austin, Texas (HUD, 2017). • Key Characteristics • Displacement • Rising Costs b) Defining Insecure Housing i) Explain how gentrification contributes to insecure housing in urban areas ii) It has been difficult to track housing insecurity reliably over time due to the inconsistent methods of measurement. The HUD has created a Housing Insecurity Research Module (HIRM), an opt-in, follow-on survey conducted shortly after the 2019 American Housing Survey (AHS). (HUD, 2022). Deeping the understanding of housing insecurity is an important task for researchers and policy makers as secure housing promotes positive outcomes in health, educational attainment, and employment (HUD, 2022). • In the HIRM, researchers measured the concept of housing insecurity based on three dimensions [...]: lack of affordability; lack of stable occupancy, and lack of safety and decency. Using these three dimensions, the research team developed six distinct profiles of Housing Insecurity [HI]. These six profiles represent points along the continuum of HI. At the lower and upper bounds of the continuum are households that are housing secure (very low HI) and those that are housing insecure in all dimensions (very high HI). Profiles in the middle of the continuum represent tradeoffs between these three dimensions of HI (HUD, 2022). c) How are these two concepts related • State …
