Case Management Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Service Planning Area?

Los Angeles County has eight Service Planning Areas (SPAs). SPAs were created by the County of Los Angeles, which provides funding for some of the services people with HIV or AIDS receive throughout the county. Generally, if a person seeks HIV or AIDS-related services, he/she begins with the AIDS service organization funded by the County to serve his/her SPA. For example, people who live in the San Fernando Valley would use the service provider for the San Fernando Valley.

What Service Planning Area does APLA serve?

AIDS Project Los Angeles is funded by the County of Los Angeles to provide Case Management Services to residents of SPA 4, but there are exceptions. APLA provides other services to residents of Los Angeles County no matter what SPA they live in.

Does APLA provide any services to people who live outside of SPA 4?

Many of our services, such as the APLA Dental Services and Necessities of Life Program (NOLP) food pantries, are available to people with HIV/AIDS throughout Los Angeles County. If you live outside of SPA 4, the case management team of your local AIDS service provider can refer you to any of APLA's programs for which you are eligible.
