Working With Us

About Us

Housing Justice unites diverse communities to build personal connections, help people out of homelessness, and create justice in the housing system. Our vision is of a community where everyone has a safe and stable home, and a feeling they belong. 

We are a friendly organisation and we value kindness, collaboration, and respect. We put a strong emphasis on wellbeing—both for the people we help and the people who help them.

Our work is channelled through five main initiatives that aim to tackle homelessness in various different ways at a grassroots level. These are:

Citadel: we help people experiencing homelessness to find and sustain a home by using trained volunteers to identify each individual’s specific needs and address them together. This could include connecting them with their local community, helping them to seek meaningful employment, accessing a sport or a new hobby, or helping individuals to access the health or financial services they need.  

The Winter Night Shelter Network: we help over 100 churches to respond to homelessness in their local area by supporting them to set up and operate a winter night shelter for individuals who would otherwise be rough sleeping. 

Migrant Homelessness Projects: Accommodation and Support for Refugees and those facing destitution  

Faith in Affordable Housing: we work with churches of all denominations to release surplus land and redundant buildings for the creation of new truly affordable housing.
