Congratulations to the extraordinary Valerie Reyes-Jimenez, our NYC Community Organizer, for winning this year's "Spirit of Housing Works" Award! Valerie has been on the front lines for over 30 years, her strength and courage have been an inspiration for all of us! In Valerie’s words: “Housing Works is my second home. I’m accepted for who I am, and I can’t picture myself working anywhere else. The people here are truly amazing! I believe that a can-do spirit and hope are our driving forces."
