Mission Statement
ALRP’s mission is to help people with HIV/AIDS maintain or improve their health by resolving their legal issues.
About This Cause
ALRP is the only institution in the San Francisco Bay Area whose entire mission is dedicated to providing free and low-cost legal assistance and education on virtually any civil matter to persons living with HIV/AIDS. This includes such widely disparate areas as housing, employment, insurance, confidentiality matters, family law, credit, government benefits or public accommodations, and immigration. We accomplish this mission through either direct representation of clients by one of ALRP’s eight attorneys or by careful placement of clients with one of ALRP’s 700 panel attorneys. Founded in 1983, ALRP has handled over 80,000 legal matters for our clients over the last 37 years. Our efforts help our clients: Avoid unlawful evictions - fulfilling their basic need for shelter Protect and regain lost jobs and insurance/medical benefits Protect their assets, and their children's future Reduce their stress and improve their health Assure their personal dignity Our goals are to provide legal counsel and representation on often-complex legal matters with respect to HIV/AIDS for a community of individuals often least able to afford it, and to leverage the resources of the private bar for the public good. In the process, we increase resources dedicated to the public interest through the private market, and increase the skill and capacity of the legal community to handle the intricacies of HIV/AIDS related law and representation. Our current services/projects include: The ALRP Referral Project The ALRP AIDS Housing Advocacy Project The ALRP HIV/AIDS Insurance Protection Project The ALRP Outreach Project The ALRP HIV50+ Project The ALRP HIV/AIDS Consumer Advocacy Project The ALRP Immigration HIV Assistance Project The ALRP Work Readiness & Legal Assistance Project The ALRP Client Education Project The ALRP Volunteer Training Project The ALRP Law Clerk Fellowship Project Last year alone, ALRP helped over 1,500 people with HIV/AIDS in 2,643 legal matters, successfully leveraged over $1 million in donated legal services, and provided training for more than eighty attorneys.
