AIDS Legal Referral Panel

What AIDS Legal Referral Panel does

AIDS Legal Referral Panel (ALRP), founded in 1983 in San Francisco, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity and the nation's first dedicated provider of civil legal services for people living with HIV/AIDS. It is headquartered at 1663 Mission Street, Suite 720, and operates exclusively in the San Francisco Bay Area with a staff of 11–50, including staff attorneys, supervising attorneys, law clerks, and administrative personnel. ALRP's mission is to protect the rights, dignity, and health of low-income people living with HIV/AIDS by delivering direct legal representation, placing cases with volunteer attorneys through a pro bono panel, and connecting clients to non-legal service providers.

The organization's service portfolio is organized around five core civil-legal practice areas: housing and eviction defense (the largest line, with an 85% success rate keeping 149 households housed in 2025); immigration assistance (including asylum, with 300 clients from 24 countries served in 2025, up 59% year-over-year); legacy/end-of-life planning (wills, powers of attorney, advance health care directives, with 145 documents drafted in 2025); insurance and benefits advocacy (Medi-Cal, SSI, HUD-related matters); and dispute resolution. ALRP also operates an Attorney Referral Program that leverages more than $600,000 in donated pro bono legal services annually through a public/private partnership with the Bay Area legal community, plus self-help resources and a free MCLE training series for community attorneys.

ALRP's revenue model is a hybrid nonprofit structure. In FY2024 it reported $3,351,852 in total revenue, with 50% from government grants and contracts (San Francisco Department of Disability and Aging Services, SF Department of Public Health, SF Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development, State Bar of California), 19% from donated legal services, 17% from unrestricted individual and organizational contributions, and 14% from restricted foundation and corporate grants. Services are delivered free of charge to eligible clients; the organization is funded by a diversified mix of public sector contracts, foundation grants (including Gilead Sciences and van Löben Sels/RembeRock Foundation), individual donations, and pro bono legal capacity. Approximately 85% of total expenses go directly to client services, and the organization holds a Charity Navigator Four-Star Rating and a Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency.
