AAH stands for Action Against Homelessness


First incepted in the UK in 2002/3 WUAH (Women United Against Homelessness) was a small Action Group, of mixed heritage, ethnic minority females who were living in homes provided by a Housing Association with non-assured tenancies.


After being threatened with homelessness a group of 10 women who remained challenged the Housing Association, with assistance from Social activists and Local Politicians. The Group Founder and Coordinator Amaechi Bernard, spearheaded a campaign along with Associate Tanya Bernard and other tenants.


The group were featured in the local press including a couple of appearances in the Ham & High newspaper along with a Public Forum meeting. WUAH were able to assert their rights to be rehoused and not be evicted as was planned by UWHA (United women's Housing Association) A registered Charity founded with the intention to provide affordable homes for single working females in London.


AAH is an Action Committee with a mission to provide assistance and advice to those threatened with or experiencing the negative affects of being dislocated.

The AAH issue!

"AAH" stands for Action Against Homelessness It's important for us to make clear to those who have never experienced homelessness or even extreme poverty. To those who are privileged enough to have never had to struggle to find accommodations.. That homelessness is something that can happen to almost anyone. It's not only a phenomenon that happens to people of unsound mind or person's who have a drug dependency issue.

What they often seem to fail to recognise abo...
