Funders Together to End Homelessness – Baltimore is hosting a special conversation with Jeff Olivet, Executive Director of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) and Dr. Joe Savage, Regional Advisor for USICH, about the newly released federal strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness, “All In.” This new plan establishes a goal to reduce homelessness by 25% by the end of 2025. This is an opportunity to learn together about the plan and understand how it connects with local priorities and investments. Irene Agustin, Director of the Mayor’s Office of Homeless Services and Janice Miller, Chair of the Continuum of Care, will provide insight about how the plan will affect work in Baltimore to make homelessness rare and brief.
Join Maryland Philanthropy Network and the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project for the last webinar in this 6-part series focused on addressing common questions, clarifying misconceptions, and exploring ways to overcome obstacles in implementing trust-based philanthropy. This session will explore the connection and distinction between the two, and why both should be prioritized for trust-based funders. Participants will gain a deeper knowledge on why and how to explicitly prioritize racial equity in your trust-based practices and values.

It could not be clearer in those moments how firmly engrained white supremacy is in all the structures of our nation. The response from law enforcement at the Capitol was unrecognizable from the over-policing that occurs in many of the communities we serve and represent.
