  • The Shanti model is effective for single, independent individuals capable of cooperative living.
  • Alternative housing models are necessary for individuals with physical or cognitive dependencies.
  • Adaptations are also needed for those unable to live cooperatively, such as active substance users or individuals with severe emotional disturbances, and for those with families.

    • Implications:

    • The Shanti model demonstrates a viable approach to housing for a specific segment of the population with AIDS.
    • It highlights the need for diverse housing solutions tailored to varying levels of dependency and social needs.
    • Further development of community-based housing strategies is essential to address the multifaceted challenges faced by people with AIDS.
