Who We Are

We are the Housing Not Handcuffs Campaign, and we are connected by the understanding that criminalizing homelessness is ineffective, and costs more money than solving the problem by ensuring access to housing. We recognize that our criminal justice system is not the solution to social problems. And we have solutions. Click the image above to learn more.

What We Want

We want an end to homelessness. On our path to that goal, we recognize that the criminalization of homelessness must end immediately. All persons experiencing homelessness should instead have access to affordable housing, education, health care, employment, income, and other opportunities and services that allow all to live with dignity.
