Home of First Peer-Led Transgender Support Group, former STAP office, 110 N Geneva St

A former Southern Tier AIDS Program (STAP) office was also the meeting place of the first peer-led transgender support group in Ithaca, in 1995. Later, meetings alternated between this office and Hal's Deli formerly at 115 North Aurora Street. This provided group members the option to attend more private or more public settings, as well as to provide social opportunities. The group also made funding available for anyone wishing to attend meetings at Hal's, so that money was not a barrier to participating. A peer-led transgender support group has existed in Ithaca continuously since that time. The peer facilitators and locations have changed since the original group came together, but the supportive and welcoming atmosphere endures.
