ASN - Aids Support Network - San Luis Obispo County
About Us
The San Luis Obispo County AIDS Support Network (ASN), a United Way Partner Agency, was founded in 1984 by a small group of county residents as a grassroots response to the AIDS pandemic. ASN remains the sole community based, non-profit organization in SLO County that provides supportive services to residents living with HIV disease and AIDS, their families and their friends. The agency strives to improve the quality of life and independence of its clients by providing support on an individual basis
The ASN staff works closely with a large pool of dedicated volunteers in coordinating client services and agency fundraising events, and has built lasting partnerships with other non-profits in our community.
The ASN receives funding from a variety of sources, such as:
- United Way
- San Luis Obispo County
- The City of San Luis Obispo
- FEMA
- The Ryan White HIV CARE Act
- Housing Opportunities for People With AIDS (HOPWA)
- Broadway Cares - Equity Fights AIDS
- Annual fundraising events
- Corporate and private donations
