AIDS FOUNDATION OF CHICAGO 2008-2009 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS The AIDS FOUNDATION OF CHICAGO is a force for change.

We pursue a broad range of activities to end new infections, improve the lives of people with HIV, and strengthen government and community responses to the epidemic.

Founded in 1985 by community activists and physicians, we fortify local, national, and international HIV-related activities. We specialize in efforts to:

• Advocate with and for people affected by HIV/AIDS.

• Fund and coordinate prevention, care, and advocacy projects.

• Cultivate the capacity and expertise of individuals and organizations dedicated to ending HIV/AIDS.

Together with our individual, government, and community partners, we reach tens of thousands of people in need each year and make our collective efforts better and stronger.

We are a source of hope—a force for change. The AIDS Foundation of Chicago dedicates this report to the tens of thousands of Illinoisans affected by HIV/AIDS and the many dedicated volunteers and professionals who, through their daily activities, champion compassion and action in the wake of the HIV/AIDS crisis.

Dear Friends: For nearly 25 years, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) has been a source of hope and a force for change, working with key partners to reduce HIV transmission and improve the lives of people with and at risk for HIV through advocacy, funding, and collaboration.

As we outlined in our 2008-2010 Strategic Plan, A Force for Change, AFC’s aim remains unchanged: marshalling resources to prevent new cases of HIV transmission and helping those living with HIV/AIDS receive the healthcare and social services they need and deserve.

A year has passed since the release of A Force for Change, and AFC has made great strides in the three areas of the Strategic Plan, which also frame this report: Leadership & Advocacy, Prevention & Care, and Preparing for the Future. Among the highlights:

•AFC and its national partners led the call for a National AIDS Strategy, an idea President Barack Obama has pledged to make a reality. Once developed, the comprehensive, results-oriented strategy can guide federal efforts to prevent HIV transmission, increase access to HIV care, and reduce racial/ethnic health disparities.

•AFC is putting the fi nishing touches on the nation’s most comprehensive and coordinated HIV/AIDS case management system to ensure people with HIV/AIDS gain access to the medical and support services they need.

•AFC and DePaul University launched the Public Health Boot Camp, a rigorous one-week training institute to foster future HIV community leaders.

Looking ahead, AFC plans to expand its nationally recognized housing programs for low-income people living with HIV (Left to Right) Joe Sullivan, Mark Ishaug and Chet Kelly. throughout the region and invest in the future by strengthening the service providers on which people affected by HIV/ AIDS depend.

AFC will also invest in prevention to expand condom distribution, sterile syringe availability, social marketing campaigns, and other services for both HIV-negative and HIV-positive individuals.

Yes, these are diffi cult economic times, but AFC forges ahead. We must. Our work is critical, and lives are at stake.

Thank you for all you do to support, inspire, and advance our collective cause. With you in our corner, we can continue to be a force for change.

Sincerely, Mark Ishaug, President/CEO Joe Sullivan, Chair, Board of Directors Chet Kelly, Chair, Service Providers Council

7 LEADERSHIP AND ADVOCACY Ending the AIDS epidemic requires bold leadership and advocacy

AFC mobilizes thousands of AIDS advocates each month to ensure government leaders at AFC and its national partners led the call for a National AIDS Strategy, the local, state, and federal levels do all they can to respond to the epidemic. We rely on an idea President Barack Obama has pledged to make a reality. our statewide network of dedicated volunteers to speak truth to power and hold government entities accountable. We continue to train and FEDERAL inspire new leaders, many of whom are living Fighting for Better Coordination and Resultsults with HIV/AIDS, to improve the lives of people During the 2008 presidential campaign, AFC worked at the national level to ggaugeauge primaprimaryry presidential candidatescandidates’’ affected by the disease. positions on HIV/AIDS via the AIDSVote.org survey and helped launch the National AIDS StrateStrategygy (nationalaidsstrategy.org) campaign. As a result, President Barack Obamaa pledgedpledged to make the National AIDS Strategy a centerpiece of his administration’s domestic HIV/AIDS agenda.a. Once developed, the comprehensive, results-oriented strategy can guide federal efforts to prevent HIV transmission,ssion, increase access to HIV care, and reduce racial/ethnic health disparities.

In early 2008, AFC worked closely with Illinois AIDS advocates and congressional allies to ensure a fi ve-year extension for the landmark U.S. global HIV/AIDS program. The bill, signed into law by former President George W. Bush, authorizes up to $48 billion over fi ve years for internationalnal HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis initiatives and brings the U.S. closer to achieving universal access goals for HIV-related prevention, care, and treatment services. The new law also repealed a discriminatory statute banning HIV-positive foreign nationals from legally entering or immigratingg to the U.S.

In 2009, AFC will work closely with the Obama Administration and the 111th1th Congress to develop the National AIDS Strategy, champion needed federalal funding increases, and pass more than a dozen pieces of legislation designed to improve HIV prevention and care services.

AFC monitored more than 40 HIV-related bills introduced during the Illinois General Assembly’s 2008 spring legislative session. AFC played a leadership role advancing legislation to lower sexually transmitted diseases, which fuel HIV transmission; protect the privacy of HIV-positive students; and prevent drug overdoses, an increasing threat for people with and at-risk for HIV/AIDS. Work on each measure continues in 2009 with the assistance of new coalition and legislative partners.

AFC worked with city offi cials to safeguard essential HIV prevention and AIDS housing services from funding reductions in Mayor Richard M. Daley’s 2009 proposed city budget. The mayor proposed, and City Council subsequently approved, $4.25 million for HIV prevention and $250,000 for AIDS hous- ing, the same amounts provided in 2008. AFC will work closely with Chicago’s City Council and City Hall to safeguard essential HIV/AIDS services in 2009. 9 PREVENTION AND CARE To bring an eventual end to HIV/AIDS, AFC focuses on a comprehensive array of The science is clear: clean needles and proper prevention and care strategies tailored for use of condoms prevent HIV infection. But knowledge and access to prevention supplies communities most heavily impacted. are not enough. Effective prevention programs must confront HIV-related stigma, homophobia, AFC is putting the fi nishing touches on the nation’s most healthcare inequality, poverty, and other factors fueling the epidemic. In addition, services that comprehensive and coordinated HIV/AIDS case build individual and community stability and management system to ensure people with HIV/AIDS gain well-being help people with HIV/AIDS improve their lives. access to medical and support services they need. Housing Research Fighting for Better Coordination and Results

Developed by AFC, the Chicago Housing for Health Partnership (CHHP) made national headlines in 2008 when it released preliminary results of a four-year study that found that moving homeless individuals with HIV/AIDS and other chronic conditions into permanent housing can quickly improve their health and save taxpayer money.

CHHP (pronounced “chip”) is the fi rst “hospital-to-housing” effort of its kind in the nation that identifi es chronically ill homeless individuals at hospitals, moves them to permanent supportive housing, and provides them with intensive case management services so that they can maintain their health and secure long-term housing stability.

The program is a response to the reality that too often hospitals in American cities discharge their homeless patients to overnight shelters or other inadequate places that cannot meet their healthcare needs. CHHP’s method of service delivery pro- vides the nation with an effective model for assisting this segment of the homeless population and underscores the idea that housing is healthcare.

CHHP researchers and AFC staff presented their initial study fi ndings at the 2008 National Housing and HIV/AIDS Research Summit in Baltimore. Final research fi ndings and analysis will be released in 2009.

And through a grant provided by the individuals returning to community life from correctional settings. National AIDS Fund and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, we conduct According to national statistics, an estimated 1 in 4 HIV-positive outreach and education to health offi cials in prisons across the state persons have spent time in a jail or prison. to ensure they refer newly released individuals with HIV directly to AFC so clients may benefi t immediately from case management, With funding from the Illinois Department of Public Health, we link housing, and other essential services.

A Look Back: Strategic Plan, 2005-2007

In 2005-2007, AFC pursued an ambitious plan to deepen ties with at-risk communities toward stemming the spread of new infections and improving the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, AFC worked to maximize scarce HIV prevention and care resources; promote high-quality service provision through our collaborations and funded projects; and expand effective local, state, and federal HIV/AIDS advocacy efforts.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS: AFC made tremendous progress toward established goals, including:

•Helped safeguard federal funding for Illinois communities in the congressional reauthorization of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act

•Led efforts to restore public funding for needle exchange services proven to prevent HIV without increasing drug use

•Launched the Faith Responds to AIDS Committee to train and support faith-based HIV education and organizing efforts

•Secured more than $4 million in new and diverse funding sources for prevention, housing and support services

•Launched a fi ve-year crystal methamphetamine and HIV prevention collaborative with funding from the Chicago Department of Public Health

•Re-established the HIV post-corrections continuity of care program with new funding from the Illinois Department of Public Health

•Advocated for and secured $2.5 million in new state funds for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program

•Created community-wide fundraising events benefi ting scores of AIDS service organizations

•Through grants and contracts, awarded more than $35 million to area HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and advocacy projects
