Provide free legal and social services to people living with HIV/AIDS in Louisiana.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Frontline provided significant legal, outreach, education, and advocacy services throughout Louisiana. Through Frontline's Legal Clinics at prisons and HIV/AIDS Community Organizations across the state, we have been able to provide access to health care, fight discrimination and improve the quality of life of people living with HIV in Louisiana. Frontline staff gave a presentation to groups of inmates that were within 180 days of release, as part of the Louisiana Department of Corrections ReEntry Program. There are approximately 50 inmates in each "pre-release class" from many different parishes across the state. The presentation includes Health Education, Housing, Discrimination, Permanency Planning, and Disability, and focuses on HIV/AIDS related legal issues. Frontline then meets individually with HIV+ inmates following the presentation, accepting new cases from clients exiting the prison system, including Social Security Disability and Permanency Planning. In addition to the Legal Clinic Day, staff schedules follow up appointments with several inmates on a "Call Out" basis. The Legal Clinic Program expanded in 2018-2019, and the more specialized Prison Clinic Program soon encompassed the Re-Entry Programs at: * Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in St. Gabriel * B.B. Rayburn Correctional Center in Washington Parish, * Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women (LCIW) in St. Gabriel (on the grounds of Hunt), * Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women (LCIW) in East Baton Rouge (at Jetson Youth Center), Orleans Justice Center in New Orleans and East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.$124,295$121,407
