How does the Capacity Building Assistance help organizations and communities?
The Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Division at the Latino Commission on AIDS works with your organization and community to enhance your HIV prevention work in a variety of ways. The Commission has an extensive history providing Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) services to Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), health departments, Faith Based Organizations (FBOs), media, universities, businesses, and coalitions. We have worked with organizations providing services to African Americans, Latinos, Asian & Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, gay and bisexual men, HIV-positive individuals, youth, women, substance users, and both rural and urban settings. The Commission CBA model was developed over time and experience. This model is called CHANGE, an acronym standing for: Customized; Holistic; Analytical; Networking; Grassroots; and Evaluatory (Vega, 2009). Read More

In following the CHANGE model approach, two tailored programs are available to work with your organization: Hands United and Comunidades Saludables Ahora (Healthy Communities Now). Both provide services throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Read More
