ABOUT HOUSING WORKS
Housing prevents AIDS. Housing improves health. Housing Works is committed to ending the twin crises of AIDS and homelessness. Housing Works strives to ensure that homeless and low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and their families have adequate housing, food, social support, drug treatment, health care, and employment. Housing Works is especially committed to serving those who have difficulty obtaining services elsewhere because they struggle with mental illness or chemical dependency. Housing Works seeks to achieve its goals in the context of a self-sustaining, healing community that maximizes the potential of the people living with HIV/AIDS whom it serves. Our mission stands in accord with Article 25 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights that: “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.”
