Infected/Affected Client Services

Helping handsIndividuals infected with HIV and their loved ones often need assistance and support following  their diagnosis. AIDS Resource Center Ohio’s Client Services Department is here to help address those needs.

From assisting newly diagnosed clients with accessing critical medication and diagnostic services, to working with a family experiencing homelessness in finding shelter, stability and linkage with other providers, our case managers provide access to a comprehensive continuum of resources.

ARC Ohio is the region’s access point for two primary federal and state programs assisting those living with HIV; the Ryan White CARE Act and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS.  All persons living with HIV/AIDS wishing to access these resources can do so by enrolling in ARC Ohio’s case management program.  In addition, ARC Ohio offers an array of other services aimed at maintaining and enhancing  the quality of life for people living with HIV including:

Financial Aid
Crisis Intervention
Nutritional & Pantry Program
Rent & Utility Assistance
Advocacy & Community Referrals
Quality of Life Programs
Funds for Diagnostic & Medical Care
Transportation Assistance
Home-based Assistance
Living with HIV/AIDS Education
Support Groups
Supportive Housing Program

Our Client Services goal is simple:  to provide vital resources for those living with HIV/AIDS.

Changes to OHDAP

  • It was announced July 1, 2010 that HIV-infected individuals in Ohio and across the country will face a new challenge in regards to medication assistance.  It is ARC Ohio's hope and promise to make this time less intimidating for our clients and others who may need assistance.
