New York, NY – On July 1, 2011 – Sisterhood Mobilized for AIDS/HIV Research & Treatment (SMART) and Bailey House today announced the co-location of SMART’s office and programs at Bailey House’s Rand Harlan Center for Housing, Wellness, and Community in East Harlem.

Bailey House offers an array of services critical for women infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and their families including housing, medical case management, care coordination, mental health intervention, overdose prevention, independent living skills and a food pantry.  Regina Quattrochi, Bailey House’s CEO said, “This strategic partnership with SMART will strengthen our programs and allow us to respond to HIV+ women by assisting them to find and retain stable housing, access care and reduce the health disparities they often face.” She went on to add that, “It’s essential that in this 30th year since the discovery of the HIV virus, we address issues of homelessness, lack of access to care, malnutrition and partner violence – all of which fuel HIV incidence among women and shorten their lives, once they become infected. The collaboration between Bailey House and SMART will enable us to create cost effective, replicable models of care that address the unique needs of HIV+ women in recognition that they, for the most part, have been underserved and left out of national AIDS/HIV strategy and other policy and funding initiatives.”   ~ The two will remain independent organizations.

Her leadership in advocating for housing as a critical part of HIV/AIDS care has transformed the lives of thousands of formerly homeless New York men and women living with the disease.
Ms. Quattrochi is unique among major non-profit CEOs in New York – she has stayed at the helm of an HIV/AIDS organization steering it through two decades of dramatic evolution in all aspects of HIV/AIDS treatment, care, and funding here and nationally. Under her leadership Bailey House has remained a leader famous for innovation, client-centered programming, advocacy, and passion.

The New York City Council issued a proclamation stating, “The City Council hereby acknowledges Gina Quattrochi’s 20 years of service at Bailey House, the first AIDS housing organization in New York City, on behalf of New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS. Ms. Quattrochi is a passionate advocate who has helped bring visibility to the plight of low income and homeless people living with HIV/AIDS. Due to her leadership on a local, state and federal level, HIV/AIDS housing is now recognized as a critical element of HIV/AIDS care. Most recently her work on the President Obama’s National HIV/AIDS Strategy on behalf of HIV infected New Yorkers resulted in national recognition of the importance of stable housing and the critical role that homelessness plays in fueling HIV incidence . Ms. Quattrochi has been an asset to the City Council over her 20 years at Bailey House by providing vital information to enable us to make informed decisions about regulatory and budget issues. We salute Ms. Quattrochi and all of her Bailey House staff for making New York City a better place to live for homeless men and women living with AIDS.”

When the AIDS epidemic hit: men, women, and children were left homeless and stigmatized. In 1983, Bailey House stepped to the forefront and became the nation’s first provider of supportive housing to people living with HIV/AIDS. Bailey House witnesses first-hand the transformation of clients as they move beyond crisis of diagnosis to lead productive and independent lives. Bailey House’s landmark successful housing programs have been cited by the New York State AIDS Institute and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a model program and Bailey House has been held up as an example for AIDS agencies across the country.
