What we do

Home is a human right. It's our foundation and it's where we thrive. Yet, every day millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.

We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.

I cannot express strongly enough just what a relief it was to be heard and for my situation to be more fully understood. I could have ended up homeless if it wasn’t for the support to find a way through the situation.
