Homes On Wheels Alliance (HOWA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting those squeezed between rising housing costs and limited incomes. We provide essential supplies to make vehicles safe and livable, offer guidance for transitioning into a financially and environmentally sustainable mobile lifestyle, and host gatherings that foster connection and remind nomads they are not alone. We also create opportunities to give back — strengthening fellow nomads, area communities, and our public lands.
