Legacy Counseling gives HIV/AIDS patients in North Texas a new place to call home


The mission of Legacy Counseling is to provide affordable and quality mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and special care housing services to people in the North Texas area who are impacted by HIV/AIDS.

They were lucky enough to recently receive a grant that will help them house people in 24 apartments with HIV/AIDS who find themselves homeless after lengthy hospital stays. "This is really needed because we run into this problem frequently. The grant covers a tiny bit of furniture, but nothing else." said Melissa Grove, Executive Director for Legacy Counseling.  But that Melissa is one crafty gal.

There's a difference between a house and a home and Grove dreamed up a households good drive and competition that she called Ready Set Home! to get the other items needed for their first 10 apartments (sheets, frying pans, towels, etc.) and bring out the interior designer in us all.
