Bust stigma

Help bust stigma on what homelessness is, who experiences it and how it's solved.

Answer
  • Words matter. Simple changes like replacing the phrase homeless person with person experiencing homelessness reflects it's a temporary experience rather than someone's permanent identity.
  • Say something positive about public housing in your community. Use our helpful guide for having conversations at home, work or school. Help reinforce that only more housing + healthcare + support ends homelessness.
