  • Give a second chance. Give the gift of Housing Works Membership.

    Don’t make it another year filled with socks and ties. This holiday season, give something meaningful that can actually make a difference in people’s lives.

    Buy a Housing Works Membership as a gift for someone you know, and you’ll be giving an even greater gift to the homeless individuals living with HIV/AIDS that Housing Works serves — a second chance.

    Plus, when you give the gift of membership, we’ll send you a special gift in thanks. Choose from either our limited-edition thermal mug to help you warm up this winter, or our new tote bag to help carry all that holiday shopping!

    To buy a membership for someone you know, call or email:

  • Membership Changes

    Reminder:
    Starting September 1st

    The 10% member discount will be discontinued at the Thrift Shops and on shophousingworks.com, but will continue at the Bookstore Cafe.

    When signing-up in-store, customers will no longer be able to choose monthly payments, but this option will continue to be offered online. The only way to sign-up in-store will be by paying the full annual amount at the register.

    Exciting New Benefits
