About The AIDS Law Project
of
Pennsylvania
People
with HIV and AIDS may need a lawyer as much as a doctor. All too
often, society's bigotry, bureaucracy and ignorance cause serious
legal problems for people with HIV/AIDS. But most people with
HIV/AIDS can't afford a lawyer. For 20 years, the AIDS Law Project
of PA has been fighting for the rights of Pennsylvanians living with
HIV/AIDS.
For people with HIV/AIDS, we provide legal assistance with the
following issues:
-
AIDS discrimination
-
Access to
healthcare
-
Wills, living
wills, power of attorney
-
Social
Security disability benefits
-
Welfare
benefits
-
Insurance
coverage
-
Housing
-
Financial
issues and debt
-
Immigration

Founded
in 1988, the AIDS Law Project of
Pennsylvania is a
non-profit, public interest law firm providing free legal assistance
to people with HIV/AIDS and those affected by the epidemic.
From its home office in
Philadelphia, the
AIDS Law Project also educates the public about AIDS-related legal
issues and works at local, state and national levels to achieve fair
laws and policies.
This website is lovingly dedicated to the memory of AIDS Law Project
Board Members
Michael Greenberg, Jonathan Lax, Alan Morrison and
James Thompson,
Intake Advocate Arnold Jackson
and VISTA Volunteers Gary Bailey and David
Bertugli
Yes we can (have a change of president)!
The AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania
welcomes the new president of the Board of Directors,
Alberta Bertolino. Once a mild-mannered recruiter,
Alberta's rocket-like ascendance to the highest office on our board
took less than two years to complete. Chief among her
presidential attributes are her high energy and business-like
efficiency to everything she touches. On the new president's
agenda: new fundraising initiatives, diversified revenue
streams and a consistently balanced budget. Congratulations,
Alberta! And, congratulations to America's new president,
Barack Obama, too!
