 Over
the past decade,
Housing Works has designed
a comprehensive range of services to address the complex, multiple,
needs of our clients. Rather than impose onerous preconditions
for receiving services, such as complete abstention from substance
use, we offer low-threshold access to many of our programs.
By meeting clients “where they're at” and working
with them to set their own goals, we engage and retain people
who have been rejected by more mainstream service providers.
From its inception, Housing Works has maintained that supportive
housing is not a reward for “good behavior” but a
prerequisite to coping with such debilitating conditions as
chemical dependence, mental illness, homelessness, and HIV-infection.
All Housing Works programs have bilingual (English/Spanish)
staff available for clients. We also have two full-time staff
members as well as one peer educator fluent in American Sign
Language (ASL). All facilities and services are fully accessible
to people with disabilities.
Housing Works was founded upon the conviction that, when given
the proper services, supports and opportunities, homeless and
formerly homeless people living with AIDS/HIV are fully capable
of participating productively in family, work, community, and
political life—and dramatically improving their overall
health. Each of our programs reflects this fundamental belief.
Housing Works' core programs include:
