WHAT WE LOVE

The Housing Works Bookstore, a New York institution opened in 1996 as part of Housing Works mission to fund advocacy, treatment, and housing for homeless populations living with HIV/AIDS. The books are all donated and the store staffed by volunteers enabling 100% of the profits to fund Housing Work's initiatives. There is also a café within the bookstore offering coffee, bakery items and cocktails.

Housing Works operates a several thrift stores throughout New York City.
