Who We Are
The mission of the UCSF Alliance Health Project is to support the mental health and wellness of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) and HIV-affected communities in constructing healthy and meaningful lives. Since 1984, AHP has insisted on providing a safe harbor for our clients, one that is responsive to the behavioral health needs of LGBTQ+ folks with low incomes in San Francisco. We are fortunate to have a rich and storied history, and as we contemplate that history, we look toward the future with purpose and determination.
Our Services
The Alliance Health Project is a UCSF program in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at ZSFG. We work to ensure that our services remain client-centered, strength-based, and culturally competent and enhance an individual's overall health and well-being. Our services include: sexual health, mental health and substance use, support groups and wellness workshops, training, and research. AHP also uses the power of community to promote a world of well-being through workshops and forums on both LGBTQ+ and HIV-related topics.
Giving to AHP
Supporting AHP means providing critical, impactful, and life-saving services to those most vulnerable in our community.We believe that together, through our combined efforts, we can strengthen our social safety net that includes more services, and more care provided to clients in crisis, those with mental illness, HIV, and those who are homeless or coping with substance use disorders.

We pay our respects to the Ramaytush Ohlone elders, past, present, and future, who call this place, the land that UCSF sits upon, their home. We are proud to continue their tradition of coming together and growing as a community. We thank the Ramaytush Ohlone community for their stewardship and support, and we look forward to strengthening our ties as we continue our relationship of mutual respect and understanding.
