FORWARD is our first-ever capital campaign, created to propel Housing Forward into the next chapter of impact. Through strategic investment in two vital pillars — Our Community and Our Future — we will accelerate the progress we have made in recent years and ensure we can continue expanding the high impact services and deepen our ability to end homelessness for those experiencing a housing crisis. The FORWARD campaign will strengthen our work today while building the foundation for lasting change.
Our Future
Building our infrastructure and resilience
To continue to think big, we must grow smart by scaling our business to align with our growth and ensuring an operating infrastructure that can support continued growth. The campaign will support strategic program development and maintain the highest levels of quality in current services by making critical investments in people, financial resilience, and technology.
Our Community
Converting a former hotel into a transitional shelter
The campaign will support the renovation of the former Write Inn Hotel, creating a state-of the-art setting where unhoused individuals and families receive private accommodations, daily meals, case management, and wraparound services to support their transition to stable, permanent housing in the community.
