On July 1, 2003, ACRA began offering case management services to HIV-positive individuals in Durham and Orange counties who are not ACRA residents or who are non-Medicaid eligible. Although ACRA began offering case management services in January 2003, the main focus of our work remains providing diverse housing options and compassionate care for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. ACRA is generally considered the leader in HIV/AIDS housing in the Triangle, and arguably, in North Carolina.

Case management services are made available to HIV-positive individuals through Medicaid and Ryan White funding for the purpose of assisting them in accessing services in the community. The case manager, who is certified by the AIDS Care Unit of the state, links clients directly to agencies that can meet their health, housing and basic care needs. Those qualifying for Medicaid are supported through this fund, while non-Medicaid eligible clients are supported by the Consortium through Ryan White Care funding. All in all, the full HIV community may be serviced if need exists. ACRA is licensed by the State of North Carolina to provide case management services in both Durham and Orange counties.
