Grant Title: HIV Service Delivery Model for Homeless Youth and Young Adults, 16 to 26 Years of Age, with CDC Defined Stage III and IV AIDS.
Project Period: 10/94-09/99.
Description: There are two primary objectives for this project. First, the Larkin Street Youth Center (LSYC) will expand their existing "Aftercare" program services which provide emergency housing, comprehensive primary medical care and psychosocial support services for homeless youth living with HIV to serve CDC-defined HIV symptomatic disease or AIDS diagnosed youth. Secondly, they will establish an "Assisted Care Facility"; this will consist of a twelve-unit assisted living and long-term care facility. The permanent housing program will be a focal point for providing a coordinated service delivery model which manages medical, substance abuse, and mental health treatment needs of these young people. The cadre of services to be provided include: 1) Social Services – case management, mental health and psychiatric care, counseling, advocacy; 2) Health Services – linkage to HIV primary health care, TB screening, nutrition counseling; 3) Personal Care Services – nutrition, food vouchers, clothing, transportation; and 4) Recreation and Social Activities. This facility will be open and supervised 24 hours a day. A full evaluation will also be conducted.
