Funders for Housing and Opportunity

About

Funders for Housing and Opportunity (FHO) is a cross-sector, non-partisan, nationwide funder collaborative committed to strengthening the future of our nation by improving housing options and life opportunities for all Americans. We know that by targeting those most in need, we make it possible for more Americans to share in the prosperity of our nation and to participate in the opportunity that a safe, affordable home can provide. FHO’s partners and members – many of which primarily work on issues such as education, health care, poverty, and civil society – have come together because they all understand the importance of housing stability as a necessary and fundamental first step toward achieving the outcomes their foundations seek to advance. FHO believes that housing is a platform for achieving better life outcomes and thriving communities for all of us.
