About us

Housing Justice is a charity that acts on homelessness and housing need across England and Wales.

We also take a leading role as the voice of the faith and voluntary sector, supported by the Welsh and UK Governments. At Housing Justice, we value differences: we are a diverse organisation, and we work with people of all faiths and none. We seek to influence and bring about change for the benefit of those we serve through partnership, lobbying and networking. Out initiatives include Faith in Affordable Housing, Hosting people seeking sanctuary, Support for people from Ukraine, The Winter Night Shelter Network and Citadel.
