The mission of Praxis Housing is to stabilize chronically homeless persons with HIV/AIDS and other special needs through clean, safe housing and to provide services that lead to recovery, stability, and ultimately, independence.
About Me:
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 1,250 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
We are better than we think!
