On Thursday, July 31, City Council member Christopher Marte visited Alliance LES Harm Reduction Center to see our life-saving work in action. We discussed the importance of our syringe exchange program, medication-assisted treatment (Suboxone), comprehensive care management to help our participants manage complex health challenges, and our daily wellness groups. At a time when federal support for harm reduction and essential services for low-income New Yorkers has been slashed, local and state funding for our essential services is so essential, and we were glad to be able to share some of our program successes with the Council Member.
On the same day, Alliance helped lead a rally on Staten Island to protect housing protections for people with HIV/AIDS.
