Who We Are
Arts & Homelessness International works to bring positive change to people, projects and policy in homelessness, through arts and creativity. We focus on connecting and strengthening individual artists and projects and advocating for arts to be part of homelessness support and policy. We do this through international exchanges, events, research and training. We passionately believe in co-creation and 50% of our board and staff members are, or have been, homeless.

We want to be judged by our actions as agents of change, fighting injustice. As well as our commitment to employing people with lived experience of homelessness, we are trying to increase employment within AHI for people who are traditionally underrepresented in the sector.
