Mission

Provide free legal and social services to people living with HIV/AIDS in Louisiana and Georgia.

990 for the year ended February 28, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • Frontline provided significant legal, outreach, education, and advocacy services throughout Louisiana. Through Frontline's Legal Clinics at prisons and HIV/AIDS Community Organizations across the state, we have been able to provide access to health care, fight discrimination and improve the quality of life of people living with HIV in Louisiana. Frontline staff presents to groups of inmates that are within 180 days of release, as part of the Louisiana Department of Corrections ReEntry Program. There are approximately 50 inmates in each "pre-release class" from many different parishes across the state. The presentation includes Health Education, Housing, Discrimination, Permanency Planning, and Disability, and focuses on HIV/AIDS related legal issues. Frontline then meets individually with HIV+ inmates following the presentation, accepting new cases from clients exiting the prison system, including Social Security Disability and Permanency Planning. In addition to the Legal Clinic Day, staff schedules follow up appointments with several inmates on a "Call Out" basis. Frontline opened Frontline Georgia in late 2022, and hopes to provide similar services in the Atlanta area during 2025.
