The Selby has donated bags, stickers and signed copies of The Selby Paris book to Housing Works. The books will be available online, or at the exclusive New York retailer Housing Works Bookstore Cafe, where your entire purchase price will be used to help homeless New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS
This is an amazing charity and they also happen to run one of my favorite bookstores the Housing Works Bookstore and Cafe. It is located at 126 Crosby St between Prince and Houston Streets in New York City.
Housing Works is the largest community-based AIDS service organization in the United States, as well as the nation’s largest minority-controlled AIDS service organization. Since its founding in 1990, they have provided lifesaving services, such as housing, medical and mental health care, meals, job training, drug treatment, HIV prevention education, and social support to more than 20,000 homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS.
Housing Works also runs social enterprise businesses that raise millions of dollars every year to help pay for the services that we provide, spread awareness of our mission, and provide jobs to graduates of our Job Training Program. Our best-known businesses are Housing Works Thrift Shops, a chain of upscale thrift shops located throughout New York City, and the Housing Works Bookstore Café, a used bookstore, literary hub and concert venue located in Soho in downtown Manhattan.
