HAP Launches Donate Your Face Campaign for Homelessness Action Week 2012



The issues of homelessness and affordable housing affect us all. Homelessness Action Week has been taking place across the province for 7 years, this year we need your help!  

Activities for Homelessness Action Week (October 8 – 12)

Donate Your Face! If you pay more than 30% of your income for housing.
Help us make a HAP video that describes the diversity of people affected by affordable housing issues.  Simply take a close-up digital photograph and visit the HAP website to upload it!  We will post it on our website and social media in our “It makes sense to care” campaign.
Min 1Mb files preferred, full frame close-ups please!
