HIV/AIDS Residential Care
Maitri was founded as an AIDS hospice in 1987. Since then, we’ve adapted our programs to meet the current reality of HIV/AIDS care. Today, we offer short-term respite care and hospice care to people living with the disease.

A home-like setting for our clients
We welcome our residents live in one of 15 SRO-style rooms with adjoining bathrooms and shared shower facilities. Our building was designed in 1997 to be nurturing, home-like, and offer care that focuses on community.
