Bailey House’s mission is to help transform the lives of people with or at risk of HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses through housing, health services, and community support.
We believe that housing and healthcare are human rights. We work towards a world without poverty, homelessness, hunger, HIV/AIDS, or other chronic illnesses.
Bailey House was the nation’s first HIV/AIDS supportive housing provider, beginning in 1983. We were the first agency to publicly acknowledge and fund a program that addressed poverty and homelessness among people with AIDS, acting as advocates and working with multiple city administrations to help this vulnerable population.
Founded by Reverend Mead Miner Bailey, we’ve been a leader in providing housing and essential support services to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses. We believe in “housing first.” Then, we build on that stability to improve and sustain the health and well-being of our clients.
