THE FOLLOWING LIST HIGHLIGHTS OUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS:
- Praxis Housing Initiatives is NYC’s largest provider of transitional housing to homeless people with HIV/AIDS and is one of city’s lowest cost/highest service housing providers.
- Praxis houses nearly 400 people a night and approximately 1,200 homeless individuals with HIV/AIDS each year.
- Praxis Housing Initiatives operates four residences and provides a wide variety of permanent housing placement options through our Brooklyn-based scatter site program.
- Praxis offers clients over 25-30 workshops and support groups a week covering topics such as harm reduction, treatment adherence, coping skills, addiction counseling and recovery support.
- Since 2000, Praxis’ Housing Specialists have placed over 4,477 individuals in permanent housing – apartments, supportive housing and long-term congregate care.
- Praxis has employed many people who successfully transitioned through its program – from homelessness to home. For those individuals establishing a solid employment record was critical since many other employers reject applicants with criminal or drug histories.
- Praxis facilities have consistently been given high scores by city and state agencies that monitor services and security.
- Praxis recognizes the importance of addressing both housing and vocational needs, and equipping clients with independent living and employment skills and community linkages to address those issues.
- Praxis has instituted a Consumer Advisory Board that meets regularly to address client needs and provide input and make suggestions for improving services at Praxis.
