Abstract
These three cases present different models for long-term, non-hospital housing for persons with AIDS. Taken together, they raise issues as to the appropriate magnitude and expense of care. The individual cases raise their own issues as well. New York's Bailey House, for instance, provides private rooms for 50 homeless AIDS patients, at the same time the city provides only shelters for thousands of the homeless who don't have AIDS. Additionally, the three cases provide a graphic kind of journal of the nature of long-term AIDS care in the US today, replete with incidents which highlight the sadness of the illness and the policy challenges it implies.
