EDGE NJ

EDGE NJ EDGE New Jersey responds compassionately and responsibly to the HIV+ and LGBTQ+ communities. We changed our agency name to New Jersey AIDS Services, Inc.

In 1990, a young man named Eric Johnson died from AIDS and a community was mobilized into action. In 1994, the Eric Johnson House, a transitional housing program for homeless men and women living with HIV/AIDS, was dedicated in his memory. While the spotlight on the AIDS pandemic faded over time, the demand for services increased, and in 2009 the organization moved our administrative offices and a

ftercare programs to a second location. (NJAS) to fully encompass the range of services we now provide. To date, over 220 people have resided in the Eric Johnson House and over 5,000 people have benefitted from the community based and educational programs of New Jersey AIDS Services. Although our name has changed over the years, our underlying values and guiding principles remain consistent. We believe that every individual that comes through our doors should be treated with respect and dignity and that all people are capable of making lasting changes in their lives. It is these principles that make our program unique and improve the lives of every individual we serve.

Today, EDGE New Jersey was proud to stand alongside advocates, legislators, and community leaders as Governor Sherrill signed the Patient and Provider Shield Bill into law. This is a milestone for New Jersey and a powerful affirmation that our state will continue to protect LGBTQ+ people, women, families, and the providers who care for them.

This moment belongs to everyone who organized, advocated, showed up, and refused to back down.
