Housing Works

Its main activities include the provision of permanent supportive housing, on-site medical care, behavioral health services, and employment assistance for its clients. The organization manages multiple facilities in neighborhoods such as Chelsea and other areas of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

In addition to direct services, Housing Works is active in advocacy efforts at local, state, and national levels to influence policies related to healthcare access and housing rights. It also runs social enterprises, including bookstores and cafes, which generate revenue to support its mission.

It is structured as a 501(c)(3) non-profit and maintains independence without affiliation to larger corporate entities. In the social services sector, Housing Works holds a significant position as one of the leading providers of comprehensive care for people affected by HIV/AIDS, often collaborating with government agencies and other non-profits to maximize impact.
