ABOUT US

ABOUT US

POZ IMPACT

POZ Impact is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that offers auto repair and maintenance services to financially struggling individuals in the Houston area. Our organization prioritizes Seniors, Women, LGBTQ+ individuals, People Living with HIV and Veterans.

In 2019, POZ Impact was established as the inaugural radio program in Houston, devoted to supporting PLHIV, their loved ones, and allies. Two years later, in 2021, POZ Impact Mobile Mechanic was introduced to the public as a low cost-effective automotive repair service, successfully aiding over 600 Houston residents with their vehicle repairs.

Since our inception in 2021, we have helped close to 600 Houstonians repair their vehicles at below-average cost. The success of this initiative requires us to evolve and grow. Our next goal is to establish a brick and mortar location. This location will house a mechanic shop for repairs and an office space for our operations. We also hope to offer office space to the community, as well as provide a space for HIV testing and awareness initiatives. 

OUR MISSION

POZ Impact sets forth to provide low cost automotive repair & maintenance, LGBTQ+ Co-working spaces with HIV testing, and high quality farmers market.
