Homeless Services Consortium
of Dane County

The Funders Committee provides community commitment to the goal of ending homelessness through efforts led by key partners who contribute funding guidance to local service providers. Committee membership is inclusive of local funders, people with Lived Experience, and other invested community partners.

The committee conducts regularly scheduled funding and gaps analyses, provides annual updates to the Funding Matrix, and structures professional development and training opportunities in response to community needs assessments. Additionally, the committee provides a forum for public and private funders of housing programs and supportive services targeted to households at risk of  or currently experiencing homelessness or housing instability, allowing them to share relevant information and emerging issues, and coordinate responses where possible. The committee's discussions and recommendations will be grounded by the HSC-approved community plans that focus on preventing and ending homelessness.
