Iris House

As we honor PRIDE this year, we are launching a fundraising campaign to raise $5,000 to support our ongoing LGBTQIA+ programs and outreach.

For more than 30 years, we have remained deeply committed to serving those most impacted by HIV/AIDS—especially women, families, and LGBTQIA+ individuals—through life-saving care, advocacy, education, and support.

Together, we can build a world where everyone is seen, supported, and celebrated.

At Iris House, PRIDE is more than a celebration! It is a powerful reminder of our commitment to equity, dignity, and health for all!

Iris House is out and about this June! Stop by and see us at the events below.

For Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Build Up program at Iris House spotlights Ocean Vuong. This writer has written books like On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, Night Sky With Exit Wounds, and Time Is A Mother.

Happy International Women’s Month!

On May 17th, we honor the various LGBTQ+ community members who have had their lives wrongfully taken from them because of hatred and discrimination. This day aims to bring awareness to not only these lives, but to remind us of the tangible steps we can take to ensure our community feels safer. At Iris House, Build Up offers various programming and one-on-one support specifically dedicated to our LGBTQ+ community.
