The "13 Houses" Campaign
We were inspired by Vincent’s 13 houses. He saw a need and responded with concrete action. Today, we are confronted with the same problems that Vincent faced, but on a global scale. Of the 7 billion people on this planet almost 1.2 billion are homeless – they have been displaced, live in slums or on the streets of our cities. Many of them are turned away in their greatest time of need – a stark reminder of those words that dampen the joy of Luke’s infancy narrative: “There was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:7)
The 13 Houses Campaign has been created in response to this reality, learning and borrowing from the work of St Vincent himself.
The "13 Houses" Jubilee Project
The 13 Houses Jubilee Project is a Famvin Homeless Alliance special initiative aligned with the Church’s Jubilee Year 2025 under the theme “Pilgrims of Hope.“
Together, as Pilgrims of Hope, we can make a significant difference in changing the lives of those who are experiencing homelessness worldwide.
