Last month, Housing Works Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) hosted its annual art show in the East Village. The exhibition featured staff and community members from our Art Therapy program, showcasing works in a variety of mediums, including fine art paintings, embroidery, collages, pottery, and more. Attendees had the opportunity to purchase pieces directly from the artists. Prices ranged from $5 to $500,000, with more than 100 pieces available to choose from. Our Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) program supports adults (18+) living with HIV/AIDS or at higher risk, who are eligible for Medicaid. We take a whole‑person approach—offering long‑term support, therapy, case management, and access to healing services in a safe, affirming space. Services include individual and group support, mental health counseling, hot meals, creative and recreational therapies, and more!

This week's Supreme Court ruling to allow the reinstatement of conversion therapy is a dangerous step backward that puts LGBTQ+ people, especially youth, at risk. Conversion therapy violates our core values of dignity, safety, and respect. It harms LGBTQ+ youth by denying them the right to be who they are and has no place in an inclusive society that values care over cruelty. Housing Works will continue to show up, speak out, and protect our LGBTQ+ youth. #ProtectLGBTQyouth

As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we honor the trans women—especially Black trans women—who have always been at the forefront of the fight for liberation. Their leadership helped build the LGBTQ+ movement as we know it, and their legacy calls us not just to celebrate, but to act. On Trans Day of Visibility, educate yourself, read and uplift trans authors, listen to trans musicians, support trans artists and creators. Show up to community spaces, drag shows, and events that celebrate trans joy and resilience. Donate to mutual aid funds or nonprofits creating safe spaces for trans youth. Happy #TransDayofVisibility to our trans community. 🩵🩷🤍🩷 . . .

From trivia, yummy birthday cake, to dressing up as superheroes—Housing Works staff had a blast celebrating 12 years of The Undetectables program this month!

The Undetectables provide a network of support and resources to help you get what you need. Take this powerful step for your own health and the health of your community.

12 years ago, The Undetectables began at Housing Works with a simple but powerful idea: incentivizing people to take their HIV medication. Dr. Archie shares how The Undetectables program proves to be innovative and successful. With nine city partnerships, the program continues to create healing spaces, build community, and support people in staying on their HIV medication. 🩷 Undetectable means untransmittable—and that brings us one step close to ending the AIDS epidemic.
