The Museum of Homelessness (abbreviated to MoH) is a community-driven social justice museum, based in London, and created and run by people with direct experience of homelessness.[1]

The museum was established in 2014 by husband and wife team Matt and Jess Turtle.[2] It tackles[clarification needed] homelessness and housing inequality by amplifying the voices[clarification needed] of its community through research, events, workshops, campaigns, and exhibitions. The museum also provides direct support – bursaries, mentoring, training, and practical support – to its community members. [citation needed] As of 2020, MoH is looking for its own base after some years of working in different spaces.[needs update]
