HOME Cohort
The Housing Opportunities Mean Everything (HOME) Cohort is a multi-year project totaling over $2.5 million over three years to 11 partners to advance and amplify the work of an existing, well-connected and trained network of community-based advocates to advance gender justice in California.
By integrating messaging on gender-based violence and homelessness, the HOME Cohort aims to dismantle barriers and forge new pathways toward a future where every individual has access to safe and stable housing.

What is HOME?
The cohort consists of 11 organizations working to improve the safety and economic security of women and gender-expansive people in California who are experiencing homelessness due to domestic violence. 8 out of 11 participating organizations are Solís Policy Institute (SPI) alums.
The HOME Cohort is funded through a joint partnership with Women’s Foundation California, Fondation CHANEL (FC), and Blue Shield of California Foundation.
How We Work
Rooted in coalition building, the HOME Cohort meets on a regular basis to dismantle barriers and forge new pathways toward a future where every individual has access to safe and stable housing. We know housing security reduces the pervasiveness of domestic violence. Together, we embark on a journey of collective imagination, pushing boundaries, passing new policies, and advocating for a world where all can thrive.

TAKE ACTION
Housing is healthcare. Let’s raise awareness and create a future where everyone has access to safe and stable housing.
Your collaboration in sharing our work enables us to reach a wider audience, fostering greater understanding and engagement in our work together. We need all of us to build a stronger community that prioritizes the needs of survivors and individuals experiencing housing instability in California.
