Mission & Impact
We help you take care
About Housing Works
Born out of the AIDS crisis in New York City, Housing Works is a healing community that fights for inclusive care, social justice, and an end to homelessness. Our integrated healthcare, life-changing services, relentless advocacy, and social enterprises break barriers and involve the whole community in building a more compassionate and equitable world.
Healthcare Mission
Housing Works Community Healthcare fosters good health and positive social change through empowerment, innovation, and collaboration. We provide high-quality integrated medical care and a client-centered approach to substance use support which is grounded in harm reduction. These essential services are all designed to help individuals and to improve community well-being.
Housing Works’ engine is fueled by the collaborative spirit of our community. Together, we can help our neighbors achieve good health through accessible, affordable healthcare and health services, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or diagnosis.
Impact
We consistently uplift those on the margins through our team of skilled and compassionate providers committed to this community’s health and well-being.
We currently serve nearly 20,000 clients throughout New York City each year with healthcare services, housing, job training, and more.
Our political advocacy team works tirelessly in support of local and national policy to promote health equity and social justice.
“I like getting my medical care at a place that is judgement-free. My doctors are knowledgeable and helpful!”
We make care accessible and affordable by meeting individuals where they are, and by tailoring care to their unique needs.
