Great finds here, and inventory is frequently updated. Size of store is the right balance between manageable/digestible yet large enough to browse through

Housing Works: The org does good things for people in our community. That said, it has become rediculous in many ways. Especially the 74th and Columbus store. Too hot in there; reduce the lighting and it will be cooler. The staff could be much more helpful and more friendly. And the prices have become insane. And don't even get me started on the pick up method. It is a royal pain to arrange, and then they charge you a lot to collect and sell your stuff. Oh, how I wish we had Out of the closet in NYC....they know how to treat people well. Get back to the original ideals and to the customer service standards of years back.

I had an item that I needed to return and eventhough their sales are final the manager in the store let me exchange and I ended up spending more bc I loved her massive safety pin earrings. I will be back bc this really stylish man convinced my girlfriend to buy some heels

What kind of nonprofit is this when the CEO Charles King is getting paid an annual salary of $423,730? Not a very good one since I see many homeless people on the streets of New York with no assistance and this guy who claims to be helping the homeless is racking in $423,730 a year! Also they were very rude and unhelpful to me when I had estate items to donate. Help the homeless and lower your ridiculous salary dude.

it's been still worst services here. they sold things not worth it. They don't accept my complaint at all. 1st of all, their Attitude is Worse. Look at the picture from last time, according to them, they put Wrong price. So they changed the price when I was at the cashier. Not only this, when I took it home, inside the height wasn't Even. I complained to them, they told me they gave me a Discount it's A LIE! How could it Final sell such item? I just found out, one shoe is missing inside. Then they told me "so why Did you but it from us? " do you want to buy it here? Everyone?

Housing Works' mission is to end homelessness and AIDS through advocacy, providing comprehensive services, and running entrepreneurial businesses (such as the thrift shop and the bookstore) to sustain all these efforts. We stopped by the thrift shop to have a look around as we were in the area - they had a nice collection of modern, vintage, and boho wear, from clothing to accessories - they also had shoes, home decor, and books. I couldn't believe that they had boxes of new slides for only $10 or so, but, unfortunately, they didn't have them in my size. Staff here are super friendly and welcoming, and there seemed to be a constant rotation of selections to peruse through. You can help support this organization through donations and volunteerism! Cool spot to check out! +cool paintings and decor +friendly staff

The merch for sale is good, but sometimes is missing key parts which the boxes don't say, etc. and then of course no returns. I've had pretty good luck here but better luck at some other locations. Most of the people who work at the W.V. location are helpful. However, the newly hired tall transgender identified male needs to relax with the talking about customers negatively directly in front of them and laughing in their face like Eartha Kitt on multiple occasions. You are, in fact, not Eartha Kitt.

Went in here to look around and saw so many attractive things, ended up buying a really awesome decoration piece! Not only was it clean and full of good vibes, but the staff was very professional and accommodating. Will definitely come back here if I'm in the neighborhood again, thanks guys :)

I’ve been donating stuff to Housing works for years. Over the years I’ve bought some amazing dresses. I love the vibe of this housing works. It’s very cozy and calm. The staff are all lovely. I love the wide range of things that are sold — from clothing to kitchen ware. It’s really fun to pop in and walk around when I’m in the area. Who knows what you will find next!

Best home for unused stuff. Been making monthly treks as I clear out years of accumulation! Support this organization!
