About Doorways
Founded in 1988, DOORWAYS is an interfaith non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives and health outcomes of people affected by HIV/AIDS. Initially established to provide compassionate hospice care amidst widespread societal rejection during the 1980s, DOORWAYS has evolved to support a diverse population facing poverty, homelessness, and illness. With a commitment to eliminating discrimination and enhancing self-sufficiency through comprehensive empowerment and support programs, DOORWAYS enables clients to manage their HIV treatment effectively. As the virus became treatable, DOORWAYS adapted its services to focus on rebuilding lives with stable housing and holistic support. Facing growing client needs and a changing landscape marked by the opioid epidemic, DOORWAYS expanded in 2018 with a $40M project to construct the Jefferson Avenue Campus, which opened in 2022, combining housing with extensive onsite services to facilitate access and reduce barriers. Today, DOORWAYS remains the only regional agency dedicated to providing such comprehensive housing solutions for individuals living with HIV and their families.
