Together, we can end homelessness.
We Thrive and Our Community Thrives When Everyone Has a Safe Place to Sleep
The Partnership to End Homelessness brings together local government, nonprofit service providers, advocates, philanthropy, business leaders, and individuals to ensure everyone has housing they can afford and supportive services they need to stabilize.
To Date, We Have:
Created and preserved nearly 1,000 homes for low-income individuals and families.
Ended homelessness for nearly 5,000 households through advocacy for permanent supportive housing vouchers.
Leveraged and aligned nearly $20 million in funding to invest in affordable housing and grants for DC nonprofits.
Everyone deserves a Place They Can Call Home
Nearly 1 in every 100 DC residents experience homelessness on any given night in neighborhoods across the city. Thousands more are just one financial shock away from losing the roof over their heads.
And while Homelessness can happen to anyone, research shows it’s also a racial equity issue. Studies show that Black residents are more likely to experience homeless, be at risk of homelessness, or to know someone who has been homeless. Due to decades of systemic racism, eighty-seven percent of people experiencing homelessness in DC are Black or African American – even though Black residents make up less than half (47%) of the overall population.
Affordable Housing - A Strategy to end homelessness
Our strategy focuses on proven solutions. Together, we can create housing for extremely low income households and help people quickly access housing and services they need to stabilize.
By aligning private sector resources with the city’s plan to end homelessness we can have an outsized impact. Together we can support innovation, change systems, and meet critical emerging needs.
Working with our partners to create a stronger community
The Partnership to End Homelessness is a partnership with the DC Interagency Council on Homelessness and brings together a diverse coalition of organizations and individuals from across the community -- including participants from the private, public, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors.
Together, we work to ensure everyone has housing they can afford.
