Housing Works, Inc.

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.

The Intensive Community-Based Case Management Program is the largest COBRA program in New York State, providing thousands of individuals with HIV and AIDS who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless with enrollment in Medicaid and other forms of public assistance; housing placement assistance; the development and implementation of a treatment plan; regular, ongoing monitoring; and referrals to the full range of day treatment and supportive services offered at Housing Works or other community providers, all of which serve to ensure a continuity of care for each client.

The Housing Works Prevention and Services Department utilizes an approach called harm reduction to provide critical individual and group services to individuals and families at risk for and living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Harm reduction means providing a nonjudgmental setting in which clients set small, achievable goals. Our programs help clients move along a continuum of health and wellness in a culturally appropriate manner.
