Father Joe’s Villages® is the parent of the National AIDS Foundation, which provides housing for those with HIV or AIDS who seek help to get back on their feet.

Five San Diego homes host up to 38 residents at a time. For those who prefer having their own apartments, we also provide affordable and permanent housing. Handicapped-accessible apartments are available at Village Place and Villa Harvey Mandel, located near St. Vincent de Paul Village in downtown San Diego.

The Josue Homes are spacious, clean and nicely decorated. Residents participate in typical “family” chores such as grocery shopping, cooking, laundry and cleaning – activities that provide a crucial bonding experience for people accustomed to living in isolation.

“I came to a place where people were not trying to judge me, but to help me rebuild my life,” one resident says of Josue Homes. “I’m very appreciative of this opportunity to have a caring home.”

“Josue Homes works,” another says. “You feel safe, and there are always people around who understand what you’re going through. It’s been a real blessing.”
