THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Family/Youth Homelessness, Homelessness Prevention, Child/Youth Wellbeing, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Deadline:
Jan. 29, 2026

“The Foundation seeks to support efforts that increase access to interventions that prevent homelessness for families with young children. Funding will be limited to projects that will positively impact families with young children, ages 0-8. Funding may be directed to efforts that provide critical, in-time supports that help stabilize a family’s housing in the short-term and/or strategies that promote long-term stability. Examples of projects eligible for this funding include but are not limited to: providing eviction diversion, foreclosure prevention, home repair services, and projects that seek to make change on a systems level.

Please note, under this RFP, the Foundation will only consider proposals to support interventions focused on preventing homelessness. Programs focused on services to people who are already experiencing homelessness, new housing development, and/or first-time home buyer programs are not eligible for this opportunity. We will also not consider programs focused on providing access to mental and behavioral health supports, public benefits and tax credits, and job training or placement, although applicants are encouraged to demonstrate how they collaborate with programs that support these activities. We encourage applications to include how this project would support or enhance other services the organization, and its partners, provide. ”
