gay and lesbian charitable organizations to negotiate the purchase of a municipal building (a former trade high school located
in Greenwich Village) to serve as a centralized site for the provision of health care, counseling, cultural, and social services
to New York's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. Steve Ault is among the Center's founding members.
