Homes On Wheels Alliance

Homes On Wheels Alliance, Inc.(HOWA), a charitable 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, strives to help a significant portion of the American population who are being squeezed between the rapidly rising cost of shelter on one hand, and either stagnant wages or too-small of a retirement on the other. Through no fault of their own, they are at serious risk of losing their homes and apartments. We serve this community by providing- Basic goods and supplies to help make vehicles into functional, safe and secure dwellings- Transition assistance into a financially- and environmentally-sustainable mobile lifestyle- Events and gatherings to connect with the nomadic tribe, to know they are not alone, and - Opportunities to give back and improve the lives of other nomads, area communities, and our public lands. We believe that an “alliance” can be effective and should consist of- The larger mobile community- Individual donors- Government (local, state and federal)- Private businesses and industries, and - Various nonprofit organizations. By combining our energies, resources and good-will into a united front, we make a significant impact towards alleviating the homeless problem and allowing our clients to remain contributing citizens. In doing so, we help them regain their confidence, preserve their independence, self-sufficiency and dignity. Acting together, we believe the future can be bright for all of us! “Nomadland,” the 2021 Oscar-winning movie, quotes a common refrain of Nomads: “I’ll see you down the road” as spoken by co-star Bob Wells, HOWA’s President. “Nomadland” quite accurately portrays the nomadic community to which we serve.
