Housing Works launch
October 17, 2008
When you’re a web design agency, you try your darnedest to find clients to work with that make an impact. If we’re talking about global corporations, such impacts are often measured in quantitative terms like “market share” and “revenue”. In the case of Housing Works, a nonprofit organization based in New York, the fundamental issue at hand is whether someone lives or dies.
Started in 1990 by four members of ACT UP, Housing Works focuses its efforts on the homeless men, women, and children of New York City who live with HIV or AIDS. Happy Cog is humbled to have had the opportunity to help communicate the mission of this astounding organization. We are very proud to introduce you to the new Housing Works website.
