We are working to end homelessness.

We start with the system that causes it.

The problem

Who goes without a home in America

650K+

went homeless in a single night in 2023.

40%

of homeless Americans are Black, though Black Americans are about 13% of the country.

1 in 3

people without a home are part of a family.

The rent

Rent keeps going up. Wages don't.

Support is thin. Every day, in communities across America, more people end up on the street.

They are our neighbors: veterans, families with children, people facing hardships they didn't choose.

The causes

What causes homelessness?

Greed

$

Inequality

Distributive justice

Greed fuels injustice

When profit comes before basic needs, a home becomes something to sell. Corporate landlords, speculative real estate investment and predatory lending turned shelter into a way to extract wealth, and left millions of people without stable housing.

The faith

We believe Islam demandsJustice.Not charity.

Our faith calls homelessness what it is: a matter of justice.

Shelter is mandated

The Prophet ﷺ taught that food, clothing and shelter are essential needs. Housing is a right.

Oppression is forbidden

Islam forbids dhulm, oppression, in every form. Leaving people unsheltered while wealth pools in few hands is oppression.

Justice is public love

In Islam, justice, 'adl, is work: building equity and taking apart systems that harm the vulnerable.

Profound vulnerability

People without shelter are among our most vulnerable neighbors. Our tradition tells us to protect them first and restore their dignity.

Our work

Confronting the system, not the symptom

Help people now. Change the system.

Shelter & care

We back community housing, emergency shelters and transitional homes that care for the whole person.

Community action

We call on masjids, churches, synagogues and community groups to open their doors to neighbors without shelter.

Advocacy

We organize against discriminatory housing policies, predatory landlords and laws that punish people for being homeless instead of fixing why.

Coalitions & dignity

Like the Hilf al-Fudul, we build partnerships across faiths. We push for laws that protect the five things the Maqasid al-Shari'ah safeguards for every person: life, intellect, lineage, wealth and religion.
