ABOUT

Home is a Human Right is an interdependent collective of volunteers developing sustainable mutual aid models that address the crisis of unequal access to housing in New York City. We work in partnership with, and follow the leadership of, community-led organizations that are spearheading the movement for equitable housing in NYC. We envision practices, models, and plans that enable us to collaborate as neighbors and community members to redistribute resources and help individuals and families secure housing. Our current projects include: partnering with apartment seekers to confront racial and income discrimination in housing searches; sourcing and moving furniture to support people who finally do get housing; and using media to amplify the wisdom and vision of those who have first-hand experience with housing instability, as well as insights about how to end this crisis. As our community expands, so does our potential to build a bigger and more impactful network of support. If you would like to get involved, please email contact@homeisahumanright.com.
