Cause Description:
The Stanislaus Community Assistance Project is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit agency established in 1986, which is dedicated to delivering comprehensive programs that improve the health and well-being of all underserved Stanislaus County residents who are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS and other life threatening illnesses. Our goals are to prevent the spread of STD/HIV/AIDS in our community, ensure accessible, coordinated, and effective services for those people affected by HIV/AIDS and other life threatening illnesses, enable them to live healthy and productive lives, to raise public awareness and understanding of STD/HIV/AIDS-related issues, and to provide education and information programs which promote understanding and sensitivity toward people with HIV/AIDS and other life threatening illnesses. Our multi-lingual programs and services include individual client care, case management, testing, temporary shelter/housing, food assistance, client advocacy, benefit counseling, support services, community and street outreach efforts which promote harm reduction in high-risk communities, youth education and prevention programs, volunteer and support groups, awareness presentations for businesses, community organizations, and public institutions. SCAP takes an innovative and pro-active approach to developing, implementing and promoting effective HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care, education, and support programs appropriately designed for the specific conditions of Stanislaus County.
