Signs of Providence is a nonprofit media collective based in Rhode Island.

​

Our mission is to educate the public and elected officials about our state's growing housing crisis.

 

Our members include filmmakers, social workers, activists, students, and individuals currently experiencing homelessness. 

​

We know from experience that people's stories are an incredibly powerful tool for positive social change. Everyone has a voice and a story: it's our goal to share them.

 

We've fought to protect equitable access to public space. 

​

We've shared the stories of people who lost access to public transportation when the state voted to defund a subsidy that benefited low-income elderly and disabled citizens. The No Fare Bus Pass was reinstated 2 months after our first video was released. 

​

We've shone a light on how hard it can be for people experiencing homelessness to shower and find clean water .

​

We've shared the voices of people who faced housing discrimination because of their source of income. 

​

We followed a family as they were forced to undergo an eviction and subsequently became homeless because of rising rents and "studentification."

​

And we're currently building a resource to help elected officials, advocates, and professionals better navigate the existing housing system and better understand its failings.
