As a grant administrator, AIDS Alabama contracts with community organizations to ensure the provision of emergency and support services and rental assistance. AIDS Alabama also operates Agape House and Jasper House group residences and a network of individual dwellings statewide as part of the Alabama Rural AIDS Project.
In 2021 the organization broke ground on the Way Station shelter for homeless youth.
