Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Serra Project?
The Serra Project is a nonprofit agency founded in 1987 to provide safe, caring homes for people living with HIV/AIDS who would otherwise find themselves in unsafe, unhealthy living conditions. Our door is open to all regardless of race, color, religion, marital or familial status, sexual orientation, ancestry, gender, age, national origin or ability to pay.

Where is The Serra Project located?
We currently operate in the County of Los Angeles.

What exactly does The Serra Project do?
We are a housing provider that offers a continuum of care to indigent persons struggling with HIV/AIDS through two distinct programs:

  1. Our four group homes serve the chronically ill, providing round-the-clock nursing care, HIV-specific meals and coordination with a variety of support services.
  2. Our CHOISS Program (Community Housing Options at Independent Supported Sites) serves individuals able to live outside a group setting in homes that The Serra Project leases, allowing clients to reside with their families.

Who can apply to The Serra Project?
To be admitted to one of our group homes you must be HIV symptomatic or diagnosed with AIDS and either homeless or at risk of homelessness. Applications are made through caseworkers. Please have your case manager contact us.

To be admitted to the CHOISS program you must be:

  1. HIV symptomatic or diagnosed with AIDS,
  2. living with a second disability (such as substance abuse, mental health issues or domestic violence), and
  3. homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness. Admission to our programs is made through case managers who will assist you with your application.

Is there a waiting list?
Sometimes there is. It is best to check with your case manager, who will decide if this is an appropriate placement for you.
