At Funders Together, we believe that we can end homelessness in the United States and philanthropy will play a critical role in this effort. But first, we must come together to share what works, learn from each other, and challenge each other to develop innovative, long-lasting solutions.

Resources by Population
Family Homelessness 
Until recently, family homelessness has been addressed with temporary shelter or transitional housing and services. We now understand that a systems approach is necessary. Youth Homelessness 
Young people interact with our systems in very different ways than adults. Our approach to funding and services must address their unique needs. Chronic Homelessness 
Chronically homeless individuals are some of the most vulnerable in our communities. Stable housing – coupled with appropriate supportive services – is crucial to ending homelessness for this population. Veteran Homelessness 
Veterans returning home often face Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and traumatic brain injuries, conditions that are correlated with homelessness. And for the first time, we are seeing more women veterans experiencing homelessness.
