What Is Home Matters?

Why Home Matters

Home is where we're protected. It's where our health and spirits are restored. It's where we become empowered, encouraged, and inspired. Too often, though, Home is taken for granted in America. Home Matters returns the national focus and attention to Home!

Health

Healthy habits take root more easily in stable, affordable homes. Children grow strong and adults stay well, and live better.

Education

Children in stable homes learn and achieve more in school. Home helps level the playing field.

Success

Home recharges us for the work or school day ahead, so we better engage with the world around us.

Public Safety

When we take pride in our Home, we can take pride in our community and make it a safer place to live.

The Economy

By having a Home that is affordable, people of all income levels have more to spend and support the economy.

About Us

Who We Are

Home Matters is a movement that unites America around Home as the place where lives and families thrive, and as the bedrock for a stronger nation. As Home Matters grows, so too will public awareness of the proven connections between stable housing and jobs, education, health, the economy, public safety, and other important facets of American life.
