Community Statistics
New York City is the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the United States, while Bedford Stuyvesant is the epicenter of the pandemic for African Americans, infants, children, and adolescents. In Brooklyn, 23 per cent of the individuals diagnosed with AIDS actually live in Bedford Stuyvesant - Brooklyn's Community District 3 (CD3). [2p17 3rd Qtr. 1999]
In spite of these staggering numbers, there are very limited numbers of permanent supportive housing for African-American, Latino, and Caribbean families living with HIV/AIDS.
