Program areas include the AIDS Community Center (est. 1990), Smart Meals (2001), PAWS (2003),... and Mpower! Albany (2014). The AIDS Community Center Program provides drop in programs including HIV prevention support groups, holistic programs (massage, Reiki, spiritual care), HIV testing, mental health counseling, HIV and AIDS resource sections, meeting space, peer referrals, and opportunities for social and recreational activities.
