This is the first time that providers working with these major racial/ethnic groups have come together to develop an HIVP/SAP program specifically for older Minority adults. The TARGET POPULATION is Minority women age 50 and older living in Wayne County who are at risk for substance abuse and/or HIV, with an emphasis on those at HIV risk due to unprotected heterosexual sex, and their partners.  The 4 agencies are Adult Well-Being Services, Arab American and Chaldean Council, Coalition on Temporary Shelter and Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation.
