House of Stonewall

About the House

The House of Stonewall is a collective of Ambassadors and Champions who are determined to support our work. By celebrating and championing us the House of Stonewall helps us to fundraise and grow our profile.

Our Ambassadors, the founding members of the House of Stonewall, are LGBTQ+ people who have experienced homelessness and previously accessed our services.

Our Champions are fierce supporters who join the House of Stonewall because they truly believe in our mission. They use their platform, influence and skills to drive forward positive change for Stonewall Housing.

All of our Ambassadors and Champions can tell you the real difference Stonewall Housing makes to LGBTQ+ people across the UK.

Kevin Humphreys (he/they)

Activist, persuader and disrupter, and is now ‘Mother of the House of Prism Europe’
Kevin told us, “The hardest part to explain to anyone is that far too many LGBTQ+ people are homeless because circumstance and life has made them believe that they are safer being homeless, than in any home they once knew. The purest beauty of Stonewall Housing is that they do not try to drive the LGBTQ+ homeless family into solutions society defines as suitable. But instead helps our LGBTQ+ homeless family, of all ages, identities and needs, find solutions that they will find suitable.”

At 14, Kevin found himself homeless, having to leave home simply because of who he was. He was adopted from the streets of London by the squatter and house movement, where he discovered his first real ‘family’. Kevin survived, across the years actively protesting against Margaret Thatcher’s homophobic piece of legislation Section 28, apartheid and the poll tax. Kevin witnessed HIV decimate our community, joining ACT UP in the 1990’s. In his late twenties Kevin returned to education, gained a degree and entered the construction industry, where again he fought more homophobia.
