The mission of ASD is to create and strengthen healthy communities through the delivery of quality, affordable, service-enriched housing for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. ASD’s mission includes advocacy, education, and the development of affordable housing options and community development opportunities, both for its residents living with HIV/AIDS, and for economically disadvantaged people.
Housing:
The concept of housing at AIDS Services of Dallas (ASD) encompasses much more than simply providing individuals and families suffering from HIV/AIDS with a place to stay. In fact, each of the 125 units provide up to 225 men, women and children with one of the most effective defenses in the battle against AIDS – a home. The residents of ASD share a common bond in that everyone’s life has been affected in some way by AIDS. It is a community of families and individuals, each working together to accomplish personal goals, and finding support in each other to do so.
- Ewing Center consists of 22 units, 5 one-bedroom apartments, 15 efficiencies, and 2 special need beds/rooms.
- Revlon Apartments are designed to accommodate individuals and families, with 20 one-bedroom and 7 two-bedroom apartments.
- Completed in September 1996, Hillcrest House is unique in that it provides service to individuals who are formerly homeless and living with AIDS/HIV. Hillcrest has 64 single-unit efficiencies.
- Spencer Gardens, named in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, opened its doors in August of 1998 and provides housing for 12 low-income families affected by the virus. Phone: 214-375-2750
