HIV Law Project provides legal and advocacy services to HIV+ individuals. HIV Law Project targets its resources to traditionally underserved populations, particularly women and their families; people of color; undocumented and recent immigrants; members of the LGBT community; and the homeless. In October 2013, HIV Law Project merged with Housing Works, Inc., also in New York, NY, to become the largest provider of legal services to people living with HIV/AIDS in New York City.
