Friends for Life: AIDS Resource Center/Life Skills is operated
under the Friends for Life foundation. This project provides
assistance to persons who are homeless and HIV+ to obtain permanent
housing and educational skills that will enable them to live
autonomously with access to medical and social service care. SHP also
makes it possible for the project to provide housing to 40 homeless
persons each year, as well as leasing assistance for the initial
security deposit and rent for six months. Additionally, participants
receive basic employment skills training.
Note: Grant funds awarded under the 1997 SHP have been expended.
Friends for Life is no longer operating. However, the project received
renewal funding under the 2002 SHP for the continued delivery of
services and has been undertaken by another organization.
