A 501(c)3 Non Profit Health & Human Services/AIDS Service Organization
“Think Globally, Act Locally” - One World - Two Logos - Many Reasons
“Thinking Globally, but Acting Locally”, James’ House (Legal
name: James House LTD) is a duly incorporated & registered
501(c)3 Non Profit Health & Human Services Organization/AIDS
Service Organization based in GA (U.S.A.) but with a National
Focus.
James’ House has a 3 Point Mission Statement
1.) To provide clean, safe & cost effective Housing/Utility
Assistance for those folks infected with one or more immune
system compromising illness (e.g. HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Heart
Disease, Diabetes etc.) who by way of MD clearance are ready &
healthy enough to return to the Business of Living. We employ a
with a “Paying It Forward” twist - a legal clause: for each 6 months
of Housing/Utility Assistance a Client receives, they are expect to
contribute 24 hrs of their time, divided up, however & whenever
they elect, to one or many worthwhile charitable causes, James’
House, Jerusalem House, Feeding the Homeless, A Cancer or
AIDs Walk, Diabetes & Heart Health events/programs, or others
like Habitat for Humanity, Building Ramp Accessible Homes for
Handicapped Vets etc.).
(Please Note: James’ House is not a Shelter nor a Hospice
Care facility - It is our mission to help our clients prior to their
needing either of those two options).*
2.) To provide Educational Materials & Instructional Resources to
both infected or affected persons in “at risk” populations or to the
general public
regarding immune system compromising illnesses (e.g. HIV/AIDS,
Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, etc.). In-house, via
Virtual/Online or Face to Face interaction, we help folks with
Living with the disease/s, updates on new medications &
treatment initiatives & more. Integrating both AMA MDs &
Alternative or Holistic professionals, along with their respective
approaches to a person’s over all Health & wellness, we produce
innovative &
engaging 1 Day EDU Seminars in conjunction with other
nonprofits covering a wide variety of areas designed to encourage
individual overall Personal Advocacy. These may include Diet,
Exercise, Reiki, Yoga, Massage & Nutrition, Day to Day Life Skills,
Awareness, Prevention & Early Detection, Domestic or Spousal
Abuse, Substance Abuse & unplanned teen pregnancy.
Occasionally, when venue appropriate, cost effective (funded) &
feasible, HIV/AIDS & other STD Testing & Counseling by our own
C.D.C. Certified staff may offered.
3.) To provide online or offset financial assistance for cost
effective credible Counseling & Referrals for General, Financial,
Legal Aids, Psychiatric or Psychological & more Assistance as is
needed on a client by client basis. Referrals are made after
James’ House has confirmed both the need of the
Client & the qualifications of the Person/Service/s to which a client
is being referred.
***************************************************************************
****************************************
James’ House offers services to all persons, both in the general
public as well as within “at risk” communities. James’ House is not
exclusive of any segment of society, having no bias regarding
race, religion, gender, lifestyle, nor any other cultural
characteristics. We do, however, focus the central efforts of Client
Services to persons 18 or older. Educational Programs &
Referrals are not restricted by age (except in those instances
where the subject matter -sexual health- is considered “off-limits”
to minors by city, county or state law, &/or other imposed rules or
regulations).
Meeting our 3 Mission Statement objectives is expensive. In order
to meet the needs of our client base, to grow & to maintain
sustainability, funding for James’ House comes primarily from
Individual & Private Contributions as well as from Corporate
Sponsorships, Grants, Trusts & Foundations.
* With specific regard to Housing/Utility & Counseling/Referral
Assistance, our Clients are chiefly comprised of those “middle
class” folks who fall into a “Catch 22” in that they earned too much
(over the poverty line) the last time they were healthy enough to
work & thusly cannot qualify for much, if any Fed Based
Assistance when their Cancer goes into remission, their HIV/AIDS
is goes undetectable, etc. James’ House is a compliment to, as
opposed to a competitor to, other nonprofit organizations as we
help those folks their fed based restrictions make impossible. Our
aid programs are an enhanced version of the old Ryan White
Program but without the exclusivity of clients being HIV/AIDS
solely or their being below the poverty level.
James’ House is not affiliated with the United Way nor is James’
House a subsidiary of any other 501(c)3 Organization.
NOTE: While there Is a physical Base Camp Office in our home
state of Georgia for necessary meetings, interviews & training
sessions, etc., James’ House is an entirely virtual fully functional
nonprofit health & human services organization with both Staff &
Board in various cities, about GA & the U.S.A. (3 outside the
U.S.), working together via an integrated online network.
