It was largaly through the efforts of Mr. Deegan that the students from the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area received the opportunity to purchase reduced roundtrip tickets for the vaca­ tion travel. Mr. Deegan's frequent trips to the campus to set up the machinery for the students and his last minute checks at the station before train time helped a great deal in the hectic last minutes before we rolled East. How thoroughly he did his work can be at­ 6 tested to when it is known that approxi­ mately 200 Notre Dame men traveled via the Central at Easter.

  • At GMHC TAKING FLIGHT
    TAKING FLIGHT AT GMHC GMHC Annual Report FY 2014 & 2015 TAKING FLIGHT AT GMHC Gay Men’s Health Crisis began when HIV was a certain death sentence, when stigma and homophobia forced people from their homes, their jobs, and their families. When even hospitals turned away the suffering, GMHC was there. Men and women in need fled from all over the country, seeking a safe haven and seeking answers. GMHC was there. Today, hundreds of women and men flee their countries of origin—escaping violence, discrimination, poverty, stigma, and abuse. They come to New York City to build a new home and a new life. Amid the bright lights and the big city, it’s easy to miss these new Americans, but they are here. And GMHC is here for them. Today, HIV infection rates continue to rise among young men of color who have sex with men. Many of these young people live in poverty, rejected by their families, and fall through the cracks of mainstream service systems. But GMHC is here for them. Today, soup kitchens around the city overflow with hungry clients, even as funding for these services dries up. Hundreds of people with HIV go to bed hungry each night. But GMHC is here for them. GMHC is here for the people who come to our office with a new HIV diagnosis, seeking answers, and a way forward. GMHC is here for the families who flee persecution, searching for legal ways to make America home. GMHC is here for the men and women who need a hot meal and a friendly face.

  • 2016 Annual Report
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT “ GMHC IS A HOME FOR ME.” We hear this declaration of appreciation every day from clients living with and affected by HIV/AIDS—and we take that very seriously. As you’ll see on the following pages, in 2016 GMHC continued to evolve its offerings and give our clients ways to find hope—and to give them a sense of safe spaces, community, and home. For those who have escaped from homes filled with violence, GMHC embraces and helps place them in safer homes so they can heal from the ravages of abuse. For those who are homeless, GMHC links them to stable housing to help them build skills of self-reliance and independence. For those who feel isolated, GMHC provides them with a caring community of people with shared experiences, and people who want to help. GMHC does all this and more. It’s a place where there is room to realize solutions that address complex problems, to be less hungry, to connect with lifesaving care, and to feel hope. As we often say to our clients: “Welcome home.” LETTER FROM THE CEO Welcome to GMHC’s 2016 annual report, reflecting the incredible work we achieved together for our more than 12,600 clients — and all the work we’ve accomplished to help end the AIDS epidemic in New York City, New York State, and beyond. The year saw some major milestones at the agency, including the further development of our programs and services geared toward transgender people and long-term survivors; workforce development and advancement; nutrition counseling; and legal services for immigrants.
