About us

A grassroots movement built on music and compassion.

Since 2009, Harmonic Humanity has brought musicians, counselors, volunteers and people experiencing homelessness together to create jobs, healing and dignity.

Our story

From a CD on a street corner to a movement.

Harmonic Humanity was founded in 2009 with one mission: create jobs and pathways to dignity for people experiencing homelessness. We pioneered a street-vendor program built around music CDs featuring tracks donated by Grammy-winning artists — giving unhoused individuals a product to sell and an income to keep.

For more than a decade we have also mobilized therapists, life coaches and volunteers to offer free counseling directly on the streets, and provided small grants that support people through recovery and reintegration.
