Housing Works, which currently operates a dozen thrift stores and a famed SoHo bookstore as well as running services for the homeless and those with HIV/AIDS, was granted one of the first retail licenses issued under the state’s Seeding Opportunity Initiative. The dispensary will offer smokeable weed, commonly referred to as flower, as well as pre-rolled joints, tinctures, concentrates and edibles, with an emphasis on social equity and minority-, women- and LGBTQ-led brands.
