Lead Partners

The Partnership to End Homelessness in DC is led by the Greater Washington Community Foundation and the District Government’s Interagency Council on Homelessness.

The Greater Washington Community Foundation has a long history of galvanizing philanthropy, business, and local government to address urgent community needs. Since 1973, it has distributed nearly $1.3 billion to build thriving communities in the Greater Washington region. Leveraging its experience as a convener and advocate, The Community Foundation offers expertise, leadership and the ability to support community partners advancing solutions on the ground.

The District of Columbia Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH) is a group of Cabinet-level officials and Mayoral-appointed community representatives charged with facilitating interagency and cross-sector coordination in planning, policymaking, program development, and system performance monitoring for the District’s homeless services system.
