Located on Cole Street (at Haight) in San Francisco, Huckleberry's Cole Street Clinic opened in SF's Haight Ashbury District in 1992, and is a collaborative effort involving Huckleberry Youth Programs, the San Francisco Department of Public Health, and the University of California at San Francisco's Division of Adolescent Medicine. The Clinic offers comprehensive, age-appropriate, culturally-sensitive adolescent health services to high-risk teens, with peer-education including HIV prevention education, peer-counseling, violence prevention/leadership groups, and community outreach serving as major components of the Clinic's programs.

In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
