Focusing On What Matters Most
Housing Works provides a wide array of health services designed for low-income and disenfranchised clients living with HIV/AIDS and other challenges including mental illness, chemical dependency, homelessness, incarceration, and domestic violence.
Health Services is focused on promoting health as a state of physical, psychosocial, economic, and political well-being. As such, quality health care is a matter of social justice. This supports the concept that successful health care is not just traditional medical services, but a complete platform of social wellness.
