Providing housing to the homeless in New York City

Our Mission
The mission of Praxis Housing Initiatives is to bring about sustainable transformation in the lives of chronically homeless persons with HIV/AIDS, mental health issues, chemical dependency, and other special needs. We do this by providing clean, safe housing, and support services that lead to recovery, stability, and ultimately, independence.    Click here to donate.

From its inception, Praxis set out to deliver unparalleled supportive services and to prove that indigent homeless people could receive both housing and expert assistance at costs comparable to or lower than what the city customarily spent on (substandard) shelter alone.

Over the last 15 years, with skilled staff, access to community resources, healthcare, peer support activities, and permanent housing placement, Praxis residences have been an anchor for over 15,000 homeless New Yorkers. We have proven that there is hope and that real change can happen.
