The Actors Fund is offering a confidential, 4-week group from October 27th to November 17th for clients of the HIV/AIDS Initiative who are living on fixed incomes (SSD, SSI, HASA and/or a pension) to explore these questions and share creative strategies with others who are striving to get by. If you are interested in being part of this group please contact Marjorie Roop to schedule an interview.
