Co-Sponsor: Fund for Housing and Opportunity

The outcome of Election 2024 will undoubtedly have a significant impact on efforts to advance housing justice. Philanthropy has unique roles and perspectives to offer to ensure that the movement for housing justice continues at the federal, state, and local levels.

Join this interactive funder discussion to explore what’s next for housing justice policy. Together we’ll unpack what to expect during the federal transition, pathways for meaningful action in both the near- and long-term, as well as what it means to recommit ourselves to this work. We will also preview how Funders Together and the Fund for Housing and Opportunity are engaging in scenario planning and what it means for our members and partners.

This discussion is designed as a space for funders to collaborate, share insights, and strengthen their strategic approaches in post-election. We encourage you to come ready to engage in the dialogue and bring your questions and ideas.

Please note: This funder call will not be recorded. We encourage funders interested in this topic to attend and participate in the discussion.
