The year was 1983.'Dallas' was on television,'Return of the Jedi' played at the movie theaters and Michael Jacksons album'Thriller' dominated the radio. That was also the year when Resource Center got its start.
For over 35 years, the Center has provided programs of interest to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) community members and critical assistance to people living with HIV and AIDS and for their families. The programs of Resource Center promote understanding of the LGBTQ community and aim to eradicate the spread of HIV and AIDS.
The Centers parent organization' the Dallas Gay Political Caucus, later known as the Dallas Gay and Lesbian Alliance' incorporated what was then called the Foundation for Human Understanding in June 1983. It was established with a focus on education and service, and a goal of achieving equality, recognition and equal rights for the gay and lesbian community in north Texas.
As HIV and AIDS arrived in North Texas, the Foundation mobilized to deal with the pandemic. In 1985, it established the AIDS Resource Center as a source for community awareness and prevention education, legal services, a food pantry, clothing, household goods and emergency funding.
In 1988, the Center established the Nelson-Tebedo Health Clinic for treatment, clinical drug trials and HIV testing. Today, Nelson-Tebedo also offers STD prevention and testing, medical case management, prevention and transgender health services.
