Funders for Housing and Opportunity (FHO) brings the nation’s leading funders together from across sectors and perspectives to ensure access to a safe, stable rental housing in communities that supports better health, economic mobility, and educational achievement, free from the barriers and harms of systemic racism. This is accomplished primarily through grant making and learning exchanges in FHO’s three priority areas:  policy, advocacy, and organizing; narrative change; and elevating what works. FHO has prioritized racial equity in its work, and seeks to change housing policies, practices, and institutions that have perpetuated a system of discrimination in housing and harm to communities of color.
