El Faro Adult Day Treatment & Harm Reduction Program.
ElFaro Adult Day Treatment and Harm Reduction Program is Harlem United’s low threshold social day program for persons living with HIV/AIDS. True to Harlem United’s foundation of a collaborative, caring and healing community, El Faro provides safe, cul-turally aware, non-judgmental services to meet our clients where s/he is at. Above all, El Faro provides our clients with a sense of community—a place where they are affirmed, accepted, challenged and respected, a place they proudly could call, “home.”
