Funder networks and collaboratives provide the opportunity for philanthropy to advance more equitable investments and policies in their communities. However, when each individual and foundation is at a different place in their journey, it can be difficult to create a common equity agenda for the funder network or collaborative.

During this month's meeting, we reviewed the themes we found during our conversations with members of the network. Participants were able to prioritize the questions they would be focusing on in the coming months as a group. After the vote was complete, the group had prioritized focusing on the following questions:

• How are health systems addressing equity in context of their housing investments?
• How to engage payers in sustainable housing support? (i.e. advocacy, coalition, etc.)
• How can data collection within health systems and across community efforts be strengthened?
• How can health systems apply a more strategic lens to their investments?
