Voices for Housing
We're looking for film entries for our 2025 We Are Home Film Fest! This year's theme is Voices for Housing: showcasing films that celebrate the strength and power of people in fighting for their right to a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads at night.
Over the past few years income disparity across the country has led to a national housing crisis. Housing as a human right has become a central organizing point for communities across the country. We're looking for films that celebrate the different ways people are coming together around our shared need for shelter.
