They offer support, medical case management, and assistance to help people living with HIV access medical care, medical treatment, insurance, financial assistance, mental health counseling, housing assistance, psychosocial support, and addiction services.
They also offer a kitchen, free closet, computer lab and an open community. They don’t charge anything for any of their programs or services. They provide HIV and STI Testing and PrEP which is a once a day pill taken to prevent acquiring HIV.
Their TransAction program for Transgender women of color is a peer led group that meets monthly. They arrange social activities such as bowling and barbeques to help reduce isolation, especially for immigrants.
Their stand out feature is their addiction counseling which focuses on addiction and criminal thinking for people who have a history of incarceration. This is available through an on-call counselor 24 hours a day.
