Bruce House was established in 1988 through the generous support of a number of local individuals who provided our first residence. Since then, Bruce House has grown. The agency now manages a seven-bed residence, providing round the clock personal care. Bruce House also manages twenty-four apartments throughout the city for people living with HIV and AIDS.

Our client base consists of men, women, and children with HIV/AIDS who need appropriate housing and support. They include a cross-section of our local community representing those who wish to live in an independent setting or in a group residence providing twenty-four hour care.

• Apartment Program (Independent Living Program)
