Housing Equity Team

The Social Justice Hub Housing Equity team, new in the spring semester 2021, increases awareness through education, community building, organization partnerships, and initiatives related to housing insecurities connecting with greater Dane County organizations.

The Housing Equity action team creates meaningful discussions on the topic of homelessness and housing inequality in Madison, and promotes weekly volunteer opportunities in the Madison/Dane County area.

Currently the Social Justice Hub is working with Porchlight Homeless Solutions and First United Methodist Church, where we host volunteer events most Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Come one time, or come every time, and help out Madison’s community while making friends in the process! You can fill out our volunteer interest form to be included in future opportunities, and sign up for opportunities here.
