Housing Organizations

Organizations whose own description of their work names housing. The subject comes from what each organization has published about itself, not from a category anyone assigned to it.

Clear

What all 172 organizations say they work on

Bar length is relative to the largest subject, 40 organizations; the hairline marks half. Subjects come from each organization's own published description; an organization that has not described its work is in none of these.
