My Nonprofit Reviews

Years ago, as part of a group of foundation leaders, I contracted with the National Center on Family Homelessness to help establish the blueprint for what became the Bay Area Foundation Advisory Group to End Homelessness. Our objective was to increase philanthropic investments in meaningful solutions to prevent and end homelessness. NCFH's guidance was instrumental in laying the foundation for our efforts to inform philanthropic leaders of best practices and how to invest in programs, policy work, and housing that make a real difference. Today, I serve on the board of NCFH and can tell you that I am if anything even more impressed with NCFH's impact. The strength and knowledge of its staff and its research informed work are needed now more than ever to ensure that every child has a home. I am proud to be part of NCFH and of the vital work it is doing with the Campaign to End Child Homelessness and its many other endeavors to build a better future for those without homes. Our country needs NCFH, the only national organization focused on the needs of homeless and at-risk families, to guide and advise policy and program development, share best practices, and improve service and housing delivery, if we are to succeed in ending homelessness. ~ Carol Lamont
