What AIDS Service Center of Lower Manhattan Inc does
Mission
Aids service center of lower manhattan, inc., d/b/a alliance for positive change ("alliance") is a not-for-profit community organization founded in 1990 with a central mission of helping low-income new yorkers living with hiv and other chronic health conditions to pursue their chosen pathway to positive change by providing access to quality health care and behavioral health services, housing, coaching, and renowned peer training and job placement programs that cultivate leadership and economic mobility.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Care management: alliance's care management services provide a continuum of medical care, behavioral health counseling, peer-to-peer health education and coaching, and related supports that seamlessly address each individual's multiplicity of needs as they evolve over time. A core strategy for this work involves alliance's longstanding, highly effective medical-community partnerships, under which we co-locate our care management teams to 12 clinical sites in hospitals and health centers across manhattan, including: ryan health, mount sinai, and newyorkpresbyterian. These institutional partnerships ensure that alliance's participants get fast, barrier-free access to coordinated medical care and other vital services. By co-locating our care coordinators onsite within medical settings, alliance makes it easy for low-income individuals with chronic conditions to connect with and sustain life-saving care and treatment. We provide appointment reminders, accompaniment to appointments, home visits for people unable to travel, and connection with whatever services our participants need (e.g., food and nutrition services, housing placement, medical treatment adherence support, etc.).

These positive developments bring new challenges in staying on track with complicated medical regimens, especially for people with multiple chronic conditions. Alliance's treatment education and adherence support services include workshops and one-on-one counseling to help people living with hiv and other chronic health conditions understand and stick with their treatment plans, manage side effects, communicate effectively with their medical provides, and stay abreast of emerging treatment options. We operate pharmacy access centers at alliance's community service sites in washington heights, midtown manhattan, and the bronx, featuring treatment education, treatment planning, peer support, food and nutrition services, and incentives as part of our patient-centered treatment adherence services. We run social media campaigns that resource people to take charge of their health and overcome barriers to accessing services.

These services are supplemented with connection to healthcare, mental health services, housing placement, case management, support groups, food and nutrition services, and more. We support each individual's pathway to positive change, engaging participants in identifying their goals and resourcing them to attain those goals.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
