Keith Cylar (1959-2004) was an AIDS advocate and co-founder of the New York-based housing advocacy group “Housing Works”. Cylar was diagnosed with AIDS in 1989 and had cardiomyopathy, a serious heart disease. He served as co-president and chief operating officer of Housing Works until his death.
In 1987, Cylar joined ACT UP/New York and helped found its housing committee, which was the forerunner to Housing Works. With the help of partner Charles King and others, Cylar in 1990 co-founded Housing Works, a “militant” and “community-based” organization that is “often the agency of last resort” for HIV-positive people in New York, according to the “Times”. Cylar also worked with Beth Israel Medical Center in an effort to provide better access to AIDS clinical trials for minorities.
