When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, Funders Together to End Homelessness organized weekly funder calls for philanthropy to connect and share information about local responses to the impact of COVID-19 on people experiencing homelessness. Starting September 2020, these calls will move to being monthly calls on Wednesdays at 3pm ET / 2pm CT / 1pm MT / 12pm PT.
We will continue to aggregate and share resources on our COVID-19 Responses for Philanthropy resource page and have just released our updated COVID-19 Recommendations for Philanthropy.
Funder Call Format
Funder calls are active, discussion-based calls. To encourage open dialogue, these calls are not recorded. We start these COVID-19 funder calls with a brief update or resource from a field partner and then switch to discussion between funders on what is happening in their communities and how they are responding.
October 21 Agenda
Field update: Funders Together has updated our COVID-19 Recommendations for Philanthropy to provide a framework for philanthropy to respond to COVID-19 and, in the process, be a catalyst for racial and housing justice. These recommendations were designed to complement the Framework for an Equitable COVID-19 Homelessness Response.
During this month's COVID-19 funder call, we will discuss the updates to the recommendations.
Discussion: We plan for there to be ample time for updates and discussion between call participants. Please come prepared to discuss:
- What has the homeless response system been doing in your community in response to COVID-19? Knowing that many people experiencing homelessness were moved into hotels and motels, what is happening with that intervention?
- As a funder, what is most top of mind for you related to COVID-19 and homelessness right now?
