San Francisco Bay Area, CA | Tuesday, August 25 | 10:30am - 12:00pm PT
Our health, ability to find and keep a job, success at school, and connection to our communities is dependent on stable housing. Yet across the Bay Area, finding and keeping a home has slipped out of reach for many people in our communities, and the added impact of COVID-19 is putting more people at risk of losing their housing and endangering their health. People of color, particularly Black and Native Americans, have been disproportionately impacted due to the long history of policies excluding them from equal access to housing, community supports, and opportunities for economic mobility.
Cities across the Bay Area have been intensifying their efforts to respond to the crisis, and stakeholders are collaborating to lift up regional strategies and solutions. Making a difference on such significant challenges requires collaboration and an intersectional approach, and philanthropy has an important role to play.
Please join Northern California Grantmakers and Funders Together to End Homelessness for the launch of the new funder network: Bay Area Homelessness Funders Network, and become part of the effort to align philanthropy to advance racial equity and regional coordination in preventing and ending homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area.
This meeting is an opportunity to learn more about the network’s north star, purpose, and focus. We’ll discuss ideas on adopting a targeted approach on racial disparities in homelessness, gather information to shape our follow up action sessions, and create space for you to meet and connect with colleagues in the field.
