This gives the history as well as some very helpful background on one fo the founders of the HCHS, Richard Pillard. Quotes from pillar will likely be very useful in this article, along with the descriptions of the HCHS opening. This interview is featured in a peer-reviewed journal, meeting WIkipedia's reliable source guidelines.

Blumenfeld, Warren. “A Hotline in the Old Town at Night.” Gay Community News [Boston, MA] ,20 August 1983, p. 16.

This article in the Gay Community News details a bit about the transition from when the HCHS became the Gay and Lesbian Counseling Service. There is not much information out there about this transition, so this will be very useful to cite this change. This is a from a periodical and is not an opinion piece, therefore it is a reliable source under the "news organization" section of reliable sources.

Source 3:

Cobb, Nathan. "Gay liberation pushes social, political action." Boston Globe, 14 March 1971, p. A3.

Details of the opening of the HCHS. While this is a more basic overview, when I spoke with Brooke about sources she advised that a Globe article would be very helpful in giving the page credibility, therefore I plan to use this source when detailing the founding of HCHS. The Boston Globe is a reliable periodical for Wikipedia's "news organization" section of reliable sources.

Source 4:

Hurley, Tom. “HCHS Faces Major Financial Crisis.” Gay Community News [Boston, MA] ,28 August 1976, p. 3.

This article from the GCN details some of the financial hardships facing the HCHS. Financial issues were a continual problem for the HCHS and the cause of their ultimate demise. This is a from a periodical and is not an opinion piece, therefore it is a reliable source under the "news organization" section of reliable sources.

Source 5:

“Focus On: The Homophile Community Health Service.” Gay Community News [Boston, MA] ,28 August 1976, p. 7.

This is the best source I have had thus far, giving not only details but statistics about the first three years of HCHS. It details the services HCHS offered and how many people they were able tp help in their first three years of operation. This is a from a periodical and is not an opinion piece, therefore it is a reliable source under the "news organization" section of reliable sources.
