Welcome!

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 housing on the one hand and either stagnant wages or too-small of retirement on the other. 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.
