The New York City AIDS Housing Network (NYCAHN) is an award winning*
membership organization comprised and led by low-income people living with
HIV/AIDS working in a unique coalition with nonprofit housing providers and
AIDS service organizations.
Given that housing is a human right, it is our mission to empower
low-income people living with HIV/AIDS to organize our community, including
the non-profits that serve us, to advocate for more housing, better housing
and sound public policies for all people living with HIV/AIDS.
In the belief that real social change will not come about unless those who
are most disenfranchised and the most directly impacted by public policies
are the ones that take action, we engage in community organizing, direct
action organizing, advocacy, popular education and participatory
research. We seek to address the ROOT CAUSES OF THE ISSUES THAT
AFFECT THE LIVES OF OUR MEMBERS, so we make the connection between human
rights, civil & political rights and we see the link between housing
& homelessness, criminal justice, welfare, immigration, AIDS & healthcare.
Given that we actively seek to build the power of the our community, we
encourage you to get involved. For more information, contact us or click

11217. Our Toll Free
# is 877-615-2217 or 718-802-9540. Our Fax # is 718-802-9741.

We are
committed to participatory democracy guided by the following principles
which all of our members strive to embrace:
- creating
a world that respects the human rights of all people.
- respect,
dignity and equality for everyone, regardless of HIV status, substance
use or criminal justice history, immigration status, ability, age,
culture, gender, or sexual orientation.
- strengthening
the power of our community.
- building
a just society where there is equal economic, social, and political
opportunity for all.
- working
collectively and in coalition with all who share our principles in a
non-judgmental manner.
- celebrating
the power of our diversity and our community.
- supporting
NYCAHN endorsed actions in every way, including committing to
attending at least 2 visibility actions per year.
