"Housing unlocks opportunities"

Floor plan of a Housing Works unit at the Keith D. Cylar House on East 9th Street

Earlier in the week activists from Housing Works were arrested at the ACT UP 25th Anniversary demonstration. They were attempting to set up a home in the middle of a downtown Manhattan street to raise awareness about the need for housing for those living with HIV. 


Housing Works, an organization formed as an off shoot of ACT UP in 1990, works with the understanding that housing is imperative to long term health care. As part of their multi prong approach to health, Housing Works provides housing for people living with HIV. An exhibition set up this week as part of Housing Work's annual Design on a Dime benefit explores the housing and helps to put the work in context. Entitled Living Room: Housing Works Builds Housing, the show is curated by Gavin Browning and Karen Kubey. For more information about the show visit URBAN OMNIBUS.
