View a brief slide show about our mission, goals, and approach.
Funders Together (formerly the Partnership to End Long Term Homelessness) was created to galvanize the philanthropic leadership and dollars needed to end homelessness in America. Funders Together seeks to:
- Build a national network of funders who are actively supporting proven, evidence-based programs to end homelessness
- Support the study, research and collaboration needed to refine and improve the practices and polices needed to end homelessness
- Advocate for the increase of local, state and national resources specifically devoted to ending homelessness
Funders Together’s approach is based on documented research which shows that supportive housing and other related strategies are cost-effective solutions to end homelessness.
Specific objectives for Funders Together are to:
- Generate the philanthropic commitment necessary to transform political will and policies, by leveraging at least $100 million in funding from other national and locally-based foundations, financial institutions and businesses
- Build 150,000 units of permanent supportive housing for the more than 250,000 people experiencing homeless in the United States, and
- Provide the services needed to tackle homelessness.
