These resources include a holistic approach to finding and using materials, support, aid, or other assets that can be readily drawn upon when needed by a person or group. The Reginald & Dionne Smith Foundation, Inc. (RDSF) is dedicated to identifying these diverse conventional and unconventional cutting edge resources and providing those infected and affected with HIV/AIDS, viral Hepatitis, and addictions or Substance Use Disorders (SUD), their partners, family members, and advocates with the knowledge on how to contact these assets.
