Homeless International's beliefs

That all people have an equal right to adequate, safe and secure shelter and that people who are unable to exercise this right are, in effect, homeless.
That shelter is more than a house - it is a space for privacy, economic activity, social care and personal fulfilment.
That shelter development is more than the building of houses - it is the development of neighbourhoods and communities that provide opportunities for social and cultural expression.
That homelessness is a characteristic feature of poverty and that the eradication of poverty requires investment in the development of shelter that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.
That sustainable solutions to homelessness can be created only if people have access to appropriate land, finance, information, organisation and technology and also have an opportunity to play a lead role in designing solutions that work for them.
That sharing information about creating solutions to homelessness allows people to learn from and support each other.
