Housing is
a human right.

We work closely with renters experiencing housing problems while actively campaigning together to make lasting legislative change and to ensure everyone has a right to affordable, secure, suitable, and good quality housing. Housing is a human right, with the help of supporters who campaign with us and share our dedication to homeless prevention, we are building a fairer housing system for all.

Liz’s story

We help people experiencing renting problems
