Harlem United Community AIDS Center Jobs

Harlem United Community AIDS Center Overview

For the last 30 years, Harlem United has worked tirelessly to address the issues and concerns of underserved communities in New York City. Our mission is to provide healthcare, housing, prevention, and supportive services to those most in need, fighting for our communities right to access these services equitably, without barriers of racism, stigma, or discrimination. Harlem Uniteds social services span four programmatic areas (Health Services, Housing, Prevention, and Supportive Services) to offer vulnerable populations the following: medical, behavioral, dental, and specialty healthcare; per...manent supportive, transitional, and shelter housing models; infectious disease prevention and testing; substance use and harm reduction services; intensive case management and care coordination; linkage to benefits and entitlements; an AIDS Adult Day Health Care; food and nutrition services; vocational education; and more. Each year, Harlem United engages over 9,000 clients across all of our programs, provides supportive housing for more than 1,000 formerly homeless people, conducts almost 24,000 medical visits in its community health centers, and provides more than 15,000 hot meals and pantry supplies to lo Our clients deal with social and institutional barriers making it much harder for them to get the help they need. Established providers refused to provide our clients the care they desperately need, like housing, primary care, mental health, testing, health education and more. We founded Harlem United out of necessity. Specifically serving people living with HIV/AIDS who are homeless and/or suffer from mental illness, substance use, or social stigma related to their sexuality, gender or HIV status, Harlem United is the last resort for medically-under served communities of color in Harlem. We are about to open our newest site which will serve the entire community as a healthcare clinic for everyone, located on 133rd St between Lenox Ave and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. More
