The Agency
Founded 25 years ago by a
group of friends, AFA, a resilient non-profit, has grown into the
premier service provider of financial assistance to persons
living below the poverty line and disabled with HIV/AIDS in Los
Angeles County.
Aid For AIDS prevents homelessness
and hunger and improves the quality of life and independent living
for those living with HIV/AIDS.
AFA helps eligible individuals and
families pay for the necessities of life: housing, utilities,
transportation, nutritional supplements, medications not covered by
insurance, and for those unable to transport items, the home
delivery of fresh food. Assistance is intended as limited help,
supplementing existing income or providing short-term emergency
financial assistance pending receipt of other support, such as
government benefits. Over 500 dependent children currently live in AFA-assisted households, and over 60% of clients are persons of
color. A consistent focus on careful management and integrity of
purpose has enabled AFA to apply 90% of revenue to fund client
programs. Since it's founding in 1983, AFA has touched the lives of more than 18,000
men, women, and children.
