Founded in June 1990, Housing Works is presently the nation's largest community-based AIDS service organization. Housing Works' continuum of care consists of: prevention services, including New York City's largest community-based, intensive case management program and the Second Life Job Training program, New York State's first and most successful job training and placement program for homeless people living with HIV/AIDS; healthcare services, including three licensed AIDS Adult Day Health Care Programs [ADHCs] serving an average of 200 clients daily and two Congregate Residences, co-located with day programs, with 68 units of supportive housing; off-site housing development; advocacy and public policy services; and social ventures development, including four highly successful Housing Works Thrift Shops.

CMHS/SAMHSA funding is permitting Housing Works to develop an Evening Mental Health Services Program in four locations to complement and extend its daytime Enhanced Mental Health Services Program, the latter funded through a Ryan White CARE Act Title II grant. Services include psychosocial evaluation, comprehensive psychological assessment, psychiatric consultation and medication evaluation/management, individual and group counseling, crisis intervention, and medication adherence services for individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
