HIV/AIDS program moves to Victory Programs by Hannah Clay Wareham
Associate EditorFriday Feb 12, 2010 Ruah House, a housing program for women affected by HIV/AIDS, has joined the many health and housing services operating under the umbrella of Victory Programs.
"In working together it became very clear how the goals of Ruah house are directly in line with the mission and philosophy of care at Victory Programs", said John Gatto, executive director at Cambridge Cares About AIDS (CCA), a local provider of HIV/AIDS services. "Victory’s commitment to providing housing stability and HIV support to the most vulnerable members of our community ensures that the women at Ruah will have the best possible services and infrastructure to support their home in Cambridge for years to come."
Victory Programs and CCA collaborated with New Sector Alliance to orchestrate the move, which was funded by the Boston Foundation.
"I have the deepest respect for John Gatto and Cambridge Cares board and staff for having the foresight to engage this comprehensive analysis of Ruah, and for then taking such a bold step that helps all of us," Victory Programs Executive Director Jonathan Scott said, adding that having Ruah within the VPI network of HIV housing, "further demonstrates that healthy organizations can work together in alliance to make innovative decisions that capitalize on their complementary core competencies."
