Unhousing: claiming the human right to home, 2022-23 〰️
The Moral Courage Project 2023 traveled to Oakland, CA in May 2022 to investigate the housing crisis. Hear the stories of individuals and organizations striving for a more just, equitable and sustainable future on our Unhousing podcast. Our website for this year’s work is currently under construction. In the meantime, the images above share some moments from our interactive installation, public presentations and print publication.
