Communities We Serve
The organization prioritizes services for:
People living with HIV
Gay, bisexual, and queer men
Transgender and gender non-binary individuals
People who inject drugs
Within these communities, additional priority is given to:
People of color
Individuals experiencing homelessness or unstable housing
Individuals over the age of 50
People living with hepatitis C
Individuals who use substances
Individuals with behavioral health needs
These communities are not mutually exclusive, and many individuals experience overlapping identities and circumstances that influence health outcomes.
The organization also recognizes that additional populations—including people with disabilities, undocumented individuals, and those for whom English is not a primary language—intersect across these priority communities.
Through strategic partnerships, the organization extends its impact to additional populations and community needs.
