When AIDS struck the hearts of families and neighbors in the 1980s, those living with HIV/AIDS were abandoned and shunned. Father Joe’s National AIDS Foundation stepped in and established housing for these neighbors in need. Through Josue Homes, the National AIDS Foundation has been in the forefront of providing services to men and women who are HIV-positive, providing them the respite they need to reorganize their lives.

In the beginning, we offered people with AIDS hospice services. With the advent of new medicines and new understanding, we now prepare them for life.
