Design Case Study: Housing Works
Scott Ballum | August 1, 2006

Housing Works is the nation's largest community-based AIDS service organization, providing health care, legal support, and housing for New York City's homeless and HIV/AIDS populations. Sprung from the roots of ACT UP, the agency is also recognized as a pioneer in social enterprise, creating over $12 million in revenue annually from seven thrift shops, a bookstore, catering operations, work training at their print shop, and others.

Consume®evolution Magazine
Scott Ballum | May 22, 2005
At a time when independent retailers are forced to compete with global corporations, and information is disseminated instantaneously and internationally, it is increasingly easy to be influenced by a good sales pitch or the latest trends.

CONSUME®EVOLUTION looks at the effects mass-marketing and globalization have on local industry, our buying habits, and our culture – highlighting the importance of our awareness and the immediacy of making personal critical choices.
