Logo for the Chinese-American Planning Council
“The CPC has been fighting to bring HIV/AIDS
services to Chinatown since 1990, during the height of the citywide AIDS
crisis, when it received a $5,000 grant from the Federation of
Protestant Welfare Agencies. The council used the money
to create and distribute a bilingual pamphlet educating the community
about HIV prevention.
Since then, the CPC has gone on to receive grants
from several agencies, including the state Department of Health’s AIDS
Institute, that have allowed it to expand its services — the council
conducts education outreach programs while providing
services for HIV-positive clients to ensure access to medication and
support.”
