The mCHARTS program includes the co-location of services between a mobile medical clinic (MMC) operated by the Yale AIDS Program (YAP), which provides HIV and HCV treatment and prevention services combined with integrated substance abuse and mental health treatment with Liberty Community Services (LCS), the city's largest subsidized housing and HIV prevention and testing program for PARLWH.
