A New Life In a New Homeland
“I wanted to finish school and live the American Dream,” says Chenge, an immigrant from Zimbabwe who fled his home country to escape torture. “There’s a lot of worry when you don’t know if you can stay in this safe place and stabilize your life.” Heartland Alliance helped him gain asylum, obtain a visa, prepare for and find a job, and integrate into American culture.

HHCS HIV Prevention and Testing Services (HPS) provides HIV education and prevention, counseling, testing, and referral to Chicagoans experiencing homelessness throughout the city. Our focus, however, is to provide these services and more to African American men who are experiencing, or have experienced homelessness, and who have sex with other men.

HPS is community-based, using Peer Advocates, true-life stories from members of this population who have made positive changes regarding HIV risk behaviors, as well as rapid HIV testing (results in 20 minutes) provided by trained staff.

Uptown, downtown, Southside, Westside. Wherever you need us to be.
