We are incredibly proud to announce that this morning ALRP opened its 100,000th case.

When we were founded over 40 years ago, in the early days of the AIDS epidemic, no one could have fully anticipated the scale of the crisis. Moreover, no one could have envisioned how we would need to expand our services so dramatically and, more poignantly, that there would still be a need for ALRP four decades down the road.

1983: ALRP becomes the first organization in the nation focused on meeting the legal needs of people living with HIV

Our 100,000th case involves an HIV+ senior who is being forced out of a rehabilitation center that has a long history of mishandling patient transfers. Our staff is pressing the facility to delay the eviction until we can facilitate the client’s transfer to permanent supportive housing. Based on our track record of legal advocacy with this center, we are confident of success.

Over the last four decades, ALRP has continued to grow and adapt, expanding our services to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Today, we help hundreds of people each year—like the individual in our 100,000th case—stay in their homes, access healthcare, stabilize their finances, secure immigration relief, connect to vital services, and so much more.

We are grateful to you—our supporters, partners, and community—for continuing to make our work possible. Thank you!
