A Home For A Home. Let’s End Homelessness.

 

Together we are making meaningful change in the world. When you sell or buy with Motive, we donate a home to a family in need…a home for a home.

There are over 150 million homeless people across the globe, many of them mothers and children. A home, even the most basic shelter with a locking door, allows a child to go to school, a mother to have a job or develop a business and, most importantly, provides safety and security.  

We all deserve our dream home and together we can help put an end to homelessness.
