You can help us create equitable access to adequate housing in informal settlements through a number of impactful avenues.

Tell us what Home Equals to you!

During Urban October, we are asking everyone globally to help raise awareness for our Home Equals campaign by posting to social media channels and filling in the blank of “Home Equals _______” with your own definition of what home means to you. 

Use our tool to create your own post for Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, use the #HomeEquals hashtag and encourage your network to do the same!
