Founded in 2015, Museum of Homelessness (MoH) is a community driven social justice museum, created and run by people with direct experience of homelessness.

MoH tackles homelessness by amplifying the voices of its community through research, events, workshops, campaigns and exhibitions. MoH also provides direct support – bursaries, mentoring, training and practical support – to its community members.

Together, they collect and share the art, history and culture of homelessness & housing to change society for the better.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, they have worked with grassroots partners to form the Homeless Taskforce, campaigning and responding on the ground. Their aim has been simple. To try and ensure no one in their community faces the pandemic alone.
