A partnership between Michelle Ruby, known as Mr B Baby, and The Pico Union Project, No Place for Home addresses the pressing issue of the housing crisis, both in LA and globally.

No Place For Home combines acrylic and spray paint to portray two houses, with people desperately trying to make it into one, symbolizing the scarcity of affordable housing and the universal search for a place to belong. Inspired by her daughter, Mr B Baby, who is typically a muralist, infuses her work with a whimsical children’s book vibe.

The artist’s personal connection to the theme shines through as she highlights the impact of the housing crisis on her community. As a single mother, she understands firsthand how minimum wage fails to provide a livable income, affecting her and countless others in her community. She aims to debunk the misconception that homelessness is solely tied to mental health and drug issues, emphasizing the need to treat housing as a human right rather than criminalizing those who are houseless.
