HOPWA Housing & Utility Assistance

In 1984, the founders of the Access Support Network (ASN) witnessed an urgent need in the community to provide advocacy and support for people living with HIV/AIDS. From then on, the ASN has grown and adapted to the community’s unique needs. In 2001, the SLO Hep C Project was developed, offering support for community members living with hepatitis C. The ASN remains the sole community based, non-profit organization in San Luis Obispo, Monterey Counties, and Santa Barbara that provides supportive services to residents living with HIV/AIDS, Hep C, and their loved ones. The agency strives to improve its clients’ quality of life and independence by providing support individually and meeting the unmet needs of our community members.

ASN MOBILE OUTREACH VAN LOCATIONS​

Access Support Network’s mobile outreach van regularly goes out into areas of the community most affected by poverty, drug use, and homelessness in order to bring services directly to those most in need. ASN’s mobile outreach staff are nonjudgmental, compassionate, and are dedicated to improving the health of people who use drugs.

All services are free to anyone in the community, low-barrier, and DOES NOT require abstinence or drug testing as a component of care. Peer support staff are also available on site to provide case management services to those who need additional support.
