About Us

Home Sweet Homelessness is an affordable, effective, enjoyable and energizing learning and training tool for those determined to narrow the social distance between those with homes and those without them.  An easy to play, engaging board game designed by guests in a homeless shelter, it was intended to serve as a “simulator” for those who have never experienced what the designers lived through every day.  Now it is in use in 16 states from coast to coast, and even in Australia and the UK!
