Fighting Discrimination

Housing Works has long been a leader in fighting acts of discrimination and stigma directed at people with HIV/AIDS and other marginalized groups. In recent years, Housing Works held a high-profile swim in in Alabama in protest of an HIV-positive boy who was banned from a swimming pool at an RV park. We have rallied on the U.S./Canadian border in support of Obama lifting the longstanding and despicable ban on people with HIV visiting or living in the U.S.

Two of our most vigorous ongoing antidiscrimination campaigns are related to transgender issues—transgender people are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. We are also fighting against HIV testing policies that ignore the discrimination that an HIV-positive diagnosis brings.
