Activism
Empowering Clients
Staff, Volunteers and Supporters

Activism plays a critical role in the fight against AIDS. The nation’s largest AIDS activist group, Housing Works is dedicated to empowering clients, staff, volunteers and supporters to take action—from phone zaps to Congressional visits to street-side civil disobedience—on an array of pressing local, state, national and international AIDS issues. Housing Works’ efforts are powered by the involvement of people like you, who don’t turn a blind eye to injustice. Read our Housing Works AIDS Issues Update blog, and sign up for our newsletter to stay informed and learn what you can do to create change.

Many states have reported either waiting lists or changes in their ADAP, insurance, and other programs. Your best bet is to click on the state's name (to the right, click on the phone numbers and state name) and call the phone number of the programs in that state. There are some toll-free numbers that only work when you are in your state.

Co-pays and deductibles associated with private insurance, state subsidized insurance, or Medicare can make accessing what you need very difficult. We can help you navigate through the system and get the best you can. There are drug discount cards, for example, that can reduce the costs of your medications. There are Patient Assistance Programs for HIV and Hepatitis and other conditions offered by many pharmaceutical companies. You might be eligible for one of those. There is a government website that lists every Medicare Part D plan that you could get (depending on your income or your age, you may be eligible for special no or very low cost plans) and what drugs must be covered by every plan, for example.

Use the Request Assistance form, and please provide as much information as you can. The reason why we ask for specific information about your income or assets is to determine what programs are available. We won't share that information with anyone unless it is required to get you services or treatment, and we will always ask you first if that is okay and describe how any information would be shared.
