abstract: St Clare's Home for Children in Elizabeth, New Jersey, is a transitional foster home for children aged six years or younger who have AIDS, ARC, or who are HIV-positive. The home's purpose is to allow these otherwise healthy children to leave the hospital and live in a homelike environment while awaiting placement with their parents or foster parents. The first home of its kind, St Clare's has received strong community support and has been cited as a model by the Presidential Commission on the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Epidemic.
