Design on a Dime 2010

On behalf of Housing Works and our thousands of clients, thank you for your generous support of this year’s Design on a Dime benefit. With your commitment, we raised over $700,000 in support of our comprehensive services for low-income people living with HIV and AIDS. Making 2010 a record breaking year would not be possible without the tireless dedication of our amazing designers and countless volunteers. Thank you for making Design on a Dime 2010 bigger and better than ever before.

Housing Works’ largest annual event, Design on a Dime raises much-needed funds for our supportive housing program. This year, Design on a Dime proceeds will support the development of Housing Works’ 874 Jefferson Avenue Residential Project. The project features a gut renovation of a three-story building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. When completed, the newly reconstructed facility will contain 12 permanent units of supportive housing for people living with HIV and AIDS.

We remain grateful for your individual support of Design on a Dime and for the commitment of the greater design and home décor community.

Get A Room

All proceeds from Design on a Dime go to Housing Works, the nation’s largest grassroots AIDS service organization. Founded in 1990, Housing Works provides lifesaving services to homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS. Since 2005, Design on a Dime has raised more than $2 million in support of Housing Works.

Design on a Dime 2010 benefits Housing Works’ 874 Jefferson Avenue Residence Project. A new housing development project consisting of 12 permanent units of supportive housing for single, formerly homeless adults living with HIV/AIDS, the Jefferson Avenue Residence Project will involve the substantial renovation of a three-story brick building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.

874 Jefferson Avenue will incorporate many sustainable design and construction techniques, including no-VOC paints and adhesives, floor tiles made of 85% quartz and other recycled materials, and furniture made with recycled plastics. Like all of our housing facilities, the 874 Jefferson Avenue Residence will be designed to be a place where residents will want to live, not a place of last resort.
