Housing Opportunities Mean Everything (HOME) Cohort - Women's Foundation California
What We Do

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.
