How You Can Make Lives Brighter

Regardless of government funding for services to people living with HIV/AIDS, Calcutta House, nevertheless, must rely on privately raised funds to close the financial gap between those funds and the actual costs for providing the premier housing and highly supportive services and programs that have been a hallmark of Calcutta House since its founding in 1987.
