How your walk helps end the housing emergency

We're fighting for a future where everyone has a safe home. Many people don’t know where to turn for help. People living in unsafe or unfit housing. People with no permanent place to call home. 

The incredible funds you raise will help defend everyone's right to a safe and secure home. Join us and stand with people facing homelessness or housing injustice.
