Housing Rights Defenders

Campaign for change to tackle the housing issues that matter most to you.

Join the growing network of Housing Rights Defenders taking action in their local area.

Whether you're facing a social housing issue or if you’re an activist with skills that can help others in your community, becoming a Housing Rights Defender is all about coming together at a local level to make a lasting impact.

As a Housing Rights Defender, you will learn how to:

  • identify shared issues facing your community

  • build your power and the power of your community to tackle these issues through campaigning

  • use your skills in creative ways

Get involved

Communities have the power to create real change. By working together we can take steps to ensure everyone has a safe, quality and affordable home.
