70% of the people living with HIV in Atlanta are black. Join Living Room in providing health and housing resources at Atlanta Black Pride Weekend. By building awareness we can reduce these statistics!
The annual Atlanta Black Pride Weekend is a community Pride festival in Piedmont Park. Living Room will have our annual booth open at Black Gay Pride with fun activities during the festival.
Volunteers will be paired with Living Room staff to work 3 hour shifts to meet and greet festival participants.

Mission Statement
To ensure people living with HIV/AIDS in Georgia obtain and maintain long-term, stable housing.
Description
Living Room began in 1995, as a part of Trinity Community Ministries, to assist people living with HIV/AIDS find stable, affordable housing, and became an independent 501c3 organization in 1999. Our founder, Sister Mary Jane Lubinski, saw housing not only as an issue of maintaining human dignity, but as the foundation of effective medical treatment of HIV-a theory now confirmed by research.
Living Room serves both the 29-county Atlanta metropolitan area and the rural Northwest Georgia region surrounding Rome and Dalton. Over 90% of Living Room’s clients are defined as "extremely low income," so finding and maintaining affordable housing is essential to preventing homelessness.
Our organization is Georgia’s largest facilitator of emergency and transitional housing for people living with HIV/AIDS. Because we serve as Atlanta’s centralized intake and housing information and referral agency, we are able to assist over 1,500 individuals each year and make an important difference in their lives.
