Share Your Story

Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have for bringing about change.

Statistics and lists of hard facts communicate information, but stories communicate meaning and emotions – which are what motivate people to act. Research shows that stories can be more than 20 times more memorable than facts alone!

Memphis is in the midst of a housing crisis. To come up with effective housing solutions, Memphis needs to hear about housing problems through the eyes and voices of the people who have experienced them.

Those closest to the problem are closest to the solution.

WHAT'S YOUR STORY?

Choose Any *

I’m facing eviction/have been evicted. My landlord will not make repairs. My landlord is raising/has raised my rent higher than I can afford. I have trouble finding a home because I receive a housing voucher. I have trouble finding a home because even though I can afford monthly rent, I have to make two or three times the rent to qualify for a unit. I am afraid to enforce my rights because I do not want my landlord to evict me. I have a housing story not listed.
