Every November is Homelessness Awareness Month (HAM), a month dedicated to shining light on the problems, realities, and solutions behind the homeless epidemic in our country. Led by HomeAid, this year’s HAM will challenge the stereotypes, assumptions, and myths, and shed a necessary light on the realities of homelessness. We were commissioned to build the visual identity and website behind the campaign, which will convert into a year-long effort beyond November moving forward.
