Vincentian Family Homeless Alliance

The Empowering Change toolkit provides practical strategies and comprehensive resources to tackle homelessness from both local and global perspectives. It is a concrete call to act boldly, with compassion and collaboration.

The Famvin Homeless Alliance (FHA) expresses gratitude to the Congregation of the Mission for their involvement in the “13 Houses” Campaign, a worldwide initiative by the Vincentian Family.

The 13 Houses Project for the Jubilee in Brazil, led by the Daughters of Charity and Vincentian collaborators, has provided housing to vulnerable families, restoring their dignity and stability. Despite financial and logistical challenges, the commitment of the community and the project’s positive social impact have driven its expansion, offering hope and transformation to those facing homelessness.

St Vincent Mews, operated by Depaul UK as part of the 13 Houses Project for the Jubilee, provides housing and comprehensive support for homeless individuals with complex needs, including mental health and addiction issues. Sofiane, an undocumented immigrant from Algeria, has found a safe and hopeful environment there, where he is receiving help to overcome his gambling addiction and work toward independent living.
