Catholic Charities AIDS Services is proud to announce the launch of new expanded case management services beginning in August 2010.

Catholic Charities AIDS Services has been providing services and supports to individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s.  Catholic Charities AIDS Services also provides Intensive (COBRA) Case Management, Community Outreach and Service Access, Syringe Exchange and Access, Emergency Financial Assistance and Personal Care Items in an 11-county region.  Bilingual Spanish-speaking staff and supervisors are available in Albany, Schenectady and Amsterdam. 

This long history of response and action is expanded in August as Supportive Case Management is offered to assist those infected with HIV/AIDS to access and coordinate needed medical, financial, psychosocial, mental health, substance abuse treatment and other needed services.  

Referrals by providers or self-referrals may be made to our Albany office for residents of Albany, Rensselaer, Columbia and Greene Counties by calling 449-3581.  Residents of Schenectady, Fulton and Montgomery Counties may call the Schenectady Site at 382-2969 for assistance. Services are free and potential referrals do not need Medicaid or other insurance coverage to enroll.
