More than Circumstance is a volunteer-based not-for-profit that harnesses the power of social media and bridges community resources to support individuals experiencing homelessness. Our efforts are intended to empower those experiencing homelessness, and also act as a reminder to more fortunate housed communities- homelessness is an experience that can happen to anyone. Treat everyone with dignity and kindness, and recognize the inherent value that a person has despite circumstances not always in one's control.
We advocate for those experiencing homelessness through...
1. Evidence-based social media campaigns
Extracting literature to highlight disproportionalities affecting those facing homelessness.
2. Lived experience stories & interviews with stakeholders
Hear stories from people who are/were experiencing homelessness, and learn about the complex nature of homelessness through interviews with public health experts and government officials.

What does “More Than Circumstance” signify?
To be more than your circumstances means your value as a human being does not diminish because of the stage of life you may be in. We believe this is particularly relevant to those experiencing homelessness, as these unique individuals tend to be unjustly discriminated against, homogenized, and perceived of as inferior.
