Bruce House firmly believes that Community-Based Research on HIV/AIDS is an important part of our work and subsequently Bruce House has positioned itself to be actively involved with important research that will guide us in determining the best possible response to HIV/AIDS housing needs, prevention education, outreach and support services. Therefore, Bruce House bases its research activities in areas that will guide us on future directions and priorities for strategic planning as well as in research areas that support our current priorities and helps to determine best practice methods of service delivery to implement the identified priorities. Research projects are generally conducted in partnership with university-based researchers and organizations involved in HIV/AIDS issues.
