Housing Works is a healing community of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Our mission is to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services and entrepreneurial businesses to sustain our efforts. Proceeds from our businesses including venue rental at the Bookstore support our healthcare services, housing and advocacy efforts. The membership fee is tax deductible.
With its mahogany-paneled bookcases, high ceilings, expansive second floor balcony, festoon lighting, and convenient Soho location, our 3,000 square foot library is a perfect backdrop for your ceremony, cocktail reception, and/or seated dinner.

For over a decade, Housing Works Bookstore has established itself as a New York downtown institution and tourist destination. Nearly all of our stock is donated, and we are staffed with the support of volunteers, so 100% of our profits go to fund Housing Works' lifesaving services. Check out our calendar for special events or stop by to shop books, media, gifts, as well as a curated selection of thrift clothing and housewares. We pride ourselves in being a great place to shop and meet friends for a coffee or glass of wine. Our one-of-a-kind space is available for rent, and we host weddings and special events almost every weekend.
