Catalyzing Change: A New Philanthropic Model for Addressing Homelessness

Housing Forward is the lead agency in addressing homelessness in Dallas and Collin Counties. Through a unique philanthropic partnership with the Homeless Funders Collaborative led by The Meadows Foundation, they have combined the power of private and public funding to make an immense impact on the homeless response system. This new model has played an integral role in significantly reducing unsheltered chronic homelessness and transformed our system to allow placement of more neighbors in stable housing faster than ever before. They will dive into the story behind this visionary collaboration and discover how philanthropy is turning the tide on addressing homelessness in our community. Join us for an inspiring journey of change, innovation, and a shared vision for a brighter, more hopeful Dallas.
