Founded in 1990 by Sister Anne Dougherty of the Franciscan Sisters of Allegheny, Francis House has been providing support services to the Tampa Bay HIV/AIDS community for almost twenty years.

Our mission is to respond with compassion and justice to the spiritual, emotional, educational and physical well being of individuals and families infected, affected and at-risk for HIV/AIDS.

We base our operations on the principles and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi, who believed in the power of compassion, individual responsibility and accountability.  Our services are designed to teach clients effective skills for making more appropriate life choices while exercising responsibility for their own decisions and actions.

Francis House uses a holistic approach to improve clients’ quality of life by offering comprehensive services, both onsite and in collaboration with other community-based organizations.
