Partnership to End Long Term Homelessness

The Partnership to End Long Term Homelessness was founded in 2004 by a group of foundations and corporations who have collectively contributed more than $36 million to the fight against long-term homelessness. 

The Partnership was created to galvanize the philanthropic leadership and dollars needed to end long-term homelessness in America. Serving as an open knowledge network for funders, the Partnership shares strategic thinking, wide-ranging experience, and expertise to prevent and address long-term homelessness.

The Partnership is based on documented research which shows that supportive housing and other related strategies are cost-effective solutions to long-term homelessness.

The goals of the Partnership are to:

1. 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
   
   
2. Build 150,000 units of permanent supportive housing for the more than 250,000 people experiencing long-term homeless in the United States, and
   
   
3. Provide the services needed to tackle homelessness.
