The Jamie Rose
The Jamie Rose is a replicable model for permanent, supportive housing for homeless families with HIV infection and AIDS that sustains and strengthens families weakened by chronic illness and crushing poverty. It offers vulnerable families bright, sunny, furnished apartments, on-site Head Start and Universal Pre-Kindergaren, case management and psychiatric, educational and recreational services. Many years of experience providing effective programs for homeless children and families with HIV laid the foundation for ABC's development of The Jamie Rose which used a unique and previously untapped combination of funding streams to create this secure home for formerly homeless families, a model for permanent supportive housing. A strong sense of community and fortitude suffuse its spirit making the Jamie Rose a symbol for triumphant survival.
