Overdose Prevention

Overdose Prevention

Love people who use drugs! New York’s overdose crisis is driven by an increasingly unpredictable supply and War on Drugs policies that target Black, Brown, and poor people. At Housing Works, we instead champion harm reduction, a non-judgmental, evidence-backed approach that aims to reduce harm associated with substance use, without barriers, judgement, coercion, or stigma. As both a service modality and a movement, harm reduction is rooted in a respect for the rights of people who use drugs and a holistic view of their wellbeing.

Our Mission

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 that sustain our efforts.
