What
We Do

Justice 4 Housing (J4H) is a grassroots organization that provides housing and family reunification for Justice-Impacted Individuals (JIIs) through policy, advocacy and service.

We believe in a Housing First model because a safe and stable home is crucial for a successful reentry.

WE EMPOWER

Survivors of Incarceration to overcome housing discrimination and use their voices to advocate against oppressive systems.

WE ENSURE

Community-based solutions to address the root cause of homelessness.

WE EDUCATE

Landlords, Public Housing Authorities, and Organizations on the collateral consequences of criminalizing housing.

Justice-Impacted Individuals (JIIs) are those affected by interactions with the criminal justice system. Such encounters, whether arrests, incarceration, dropped charges, or other experiences, can significantly limit opportunities for individuals, particularly in securing housing.

WE ARE PART OF A MOVEMENT TO END INCARCERATION OF WOMEN & GIRLS
