Philanthropy-Serving Organizations (PSOs) for Housing Justice
About
Funders Together to End Homelessness and Fund for Housing and Opportunity convene cross-sector issue-based philanthropy serving- and mobilizing- organizations (often called PSOs) to strengthen our collective work towards racial justice and liberation through a housing justice focus.
This group is focused on learning and improving collaboration with private funders from across sectors, emphasizing how different issue areas intersect with housing justice policy, to ensure communities are safe, healthy, and can thrive.
This collaboration of PSOs meets bi-monthly to build relationships across priority areas, understand the housing justice policy landscape, and organize around policy engagement opportunities for both our individual organizations and respective members. Through this collaboration we aim to learn and act together to move housing justice policy through cross-sector engagement by:
- utilizing the influence of PSOs and their philanthropic members
- exercising convening power for both philanthropy and federal partners
- aligning messaging and narrative strategies around housing, homelessness, and philanthropy as accountability partners.
