What we’re going to do:

Use a qualitative case study approach to:

• 1. Examine how local and provincial policies

and programs interact with and impact PHAs’ abilities to manage their health and wellbeing; and

• 2. Highlight policies and programs that can

be used as models across jurisdictions in BC.

Three case study communities:

Prince George Kamloops Greater Vancouver

What we’ll look at

What we hope to accomplish

• Team capacity building in community-based research
• First project of this size led by PAN
• Fill a gap: there’s a lack of BC-specific information on the

interaction between individuals’ experiences, health

• utcomes and housing programs and policies
• Highlight strengths - document policies and programs that can

be used as models across jurisdictions in BC and beyond

• Promote greater access to suitable, affordable and culturally

appropriate housing services

• Actionable outcomes to enhance the health and wellbeing of

people living with HIV/AIDS throughout the province
