Stated Purpose:
"To provide affordable, secure housing and related supportive services to people living with HIV/AIDS."

Year, State Incorporated:
1988, MO

Nearly 30 years ago, after seeing people reduced to poverty, isolation and desperation by the social reaction to a devastating disease, people of faith in the metropolitan region sought to demonstrate a shared belief in compassionate care. On February 22, 1988, representatives from virtually all the major Protestant denominations joined members of the Catholic Archdiocese and a local rabbi to formally incorporate DOORWAYS, the St. Louis region's only interfaith organization devoted to the provision of safe, affordable housing and supportive services to people living with HIV/AIDS. This mission is based on a conviction, since solidly affirmed through research, that adequate housing is the primary requisite for the most efficient, cost-effective and compassionate treatment, management and prevention of the disease.
