Partners & Resources

Jerusalem House strives to avoid duplication of services by collaborating with both AIDS service organizations and community agencies to meet our residents’ changing needs and provide valuable services to enhance their quality of life.

If they were not provided free of charge, these essential services would be out of the financial reach of our residents and Jerusalem House. The relationships we have established are vitally important for the individual resident as well as the homeless and AIDS communities.
