Specialties
Project Transitions is dedicated to serving people with HIV and AIDS by providing hospice, housing, and support in a compassionate and caring environment. No one is denied admission because of inability to pay.
We have been serving Central Texas since 1989, and are very proud of what we have been able to accomplish with the full support and effort of a caring community.
History
Established in 1989.
Our agency was conceived in 1986 by Barbara Davis because of her work with the issues of death and dying in persons with AIDS. She established one of the first support groups for people living with AIDS in the city. She brought together a group of interested people, incorporated in 1988 and opened Doug’s House in July of 1989. By 1991 we were experiencing long wait lists for the services at Doug’s house, and even today twenty-five years later, the occupancy rate continues to run over 90%.
It also became evident that there were other unmet needs within the community… primarily housing! As a result of this need, we began Roosevelt Gardens in 1995, which is a supportive housing program for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. The cost of this program was largely supported by the proceeds from our thrift store, Top Drawer, which was opened in 1993 and remains fully operational to this day.
