Transgender and non-binary individuals comprise two of the most marginalized groups in our society. The Center provides much-needed services in one convenient, safe, and welcoming place.

Named after Connie Norman, known as the ‘AIDS Diva,’ a fearless Transgender and AIDS activist who died in 1996, this center acts as a home to raise up and empower the next generation of activists and members of our community. We are home to several Trans-led organizations including FLUX powered by AHF, TransCanWork, the Unique Woman’s Coalition (UWC), and many others.

The Connie Norman Empowerment Center is a creation from AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) whose mission is to provide cutting-edge medicine and advocacy regardless of ability to pay. The new center will help advance AHF’s mission by providing high-quality HIV care and functioning as a sort of ‘WeWork’ space for Trans-led organizations to have a place to do their work, advocate for the community, and be affirmed. AHF will open an outpatient clinic at Linn House, focusing on the medical needs of transgender individuals which will help provide HIV medical care and advocacy to those in need.
