House

Project Lazarus provides transitional housing designed for people living with HIV/AIDS, and prepares participants for successful, healthy, and independent lives.

Heal

Project Lazarus is a place to heal – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our wrap-around services address the unique challenges faced by our residents.

Empower

Our programs build self-esteem and confidence, life and social skills, and, most importantly, the ability to achieve physical and emotional well-being.

Support

We provide transitional housing, nutritious meals, case management, counseling, resources, and the comforts and security of a safe and welcoming home.
I can be myself and I learn something new every day. I’ve realized that I’ve spent a lot of my life hiding. Being gay, black, and HIV positive, it’s hard to feel safe opening up. Project Lazarus is a safe space where I can grow and heal. - Current Resident
