About Design on a Dime: Design on a Dime, founded in 2004 by Designer James Huniford, challenges interior designers to create unique room vignettes curated with donated merchandise from well-known home decor brands and artists. All merchandise in these one-of-a-kind rooms is then sold at charitable prices to design-savvy attendees.
About The Groundbreaker Awards: The Groundbreaker Awards Dinner brings together Housing Works’ closest friends and supporters for a celebratory evening to honor outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to the fight to end HIV/AIDS and homelessness. Set among the stunning room vignettes, guests will get an exclusive sneak peek at the Design on a Dime creations and an opportunity to shop select items. Most importantly, this evening will raise vital funds to bolster housing expansion efforts throughout the city, providing hundreds of New Yorkers a solid foundation from which to build a successful future.
About Housing Works: Established more than 30 years ago to end the dual crises of AIDS and homelessness, Housing Works today operates community healthcare clinics, housing, and other supportive services. Housing Works advocates for policies that address health equity and social justice on behalf of people living with HIV/AIDS, those experiencing homelessness, the LGBTQ community, and all New Yorkers in need.
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Housing Works quickly stepped onto the frontlines, operating emergency isolation shelters for unhoused New Yorkers and making sure that low-income communities of color had access to testing and vaccines.
