A national network of funders supporting strategic, innovative, and effective solutions to homelessness

Webinar: Home, Together. A Conversation for Funders about Home, Together, the New Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness

The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness released Home, Together: The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness in July 2018. Join this webinar to learn about the federal goals and strategies to end homelessness across the country, areas of increased focus in the new plan, and what funders should be aware of. We’ll hear from Lindsay Knotts, Policy Director at USICH, about the plan and segue into a conversation about the implications for local communities and what funders can do to be good partners in the work to end homelessness.

Help us make this webinar a success! So that we can make sure that this conversation is as useful to funders as possible, please share any questions you have with us.

Please note: This webinar is only open to members of Funders Together, private funders, United Ways, and philanthropy-serving organizations. If you have questions about participating, please contact Stephanie Chan, Director of Membership and Programs, at [email protected]

We joined Funders Together because we believe in the power of philanthropy to play a major role in ending homelessness, and we know we have much to learn from funders across the country.

-Christine Marge, Director of Housing and Financial Stability at United Way of Greater Los Angeles

I am thankful for the local partnerships here in the Pacific Northwest that we’ve been able to create and nurture thanks to the work of Funders Together. Having so many of the right players at the table makes our conversations – and all of our efforts – all the richer and more effective.

-David Wertheimer, Deputy Director at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Very often a lack of jobs and money is not the cause of poverty, but the symptom. The cause may lie deeper in our failure to give our fellow citizens a fair chance to develop their own capacities, in a lack of education and training, in a lack of medical care and housing, in a lack of decent communities in which to live and bring up their children.

-President Lyndon B. Johnson, 1964 State of the Union Address

Funders Together has given me a platform to engage the other funders in my community. Our local funding community has improved greatly to support housing first models and align of resources towards ending homelessness.

-Leslie Strnisha, Vice President at Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland

Our family foundation convenes local funders and key community stakeholders around strategies to end homelessness in Houston. Funders Together members have been invaluable mentors to us in this effort, traveling to our community to share their expertise and examples of best practices from around the nation.

-Nancy Frees Fountain, Managing Director at The Frees Foundation
