About Us
Homebase works at the local, state, and national levels to support communities in responding to homelessness. We’re a team of seasoned experts, facilitators, and changemakers working toward the shared vision of a comprehensive, coordinated response to homelessness.
Our staff bring decades of experience as homelessness system and Continuum of Care leaders, HUD staff and technical assistance providers, social science researchers, homeless response program managers, and people with lived experience of homelessness.
Our Story
Deeply concerned by the growing number of people becoming unsheltered in the 1980s, Homebase formed to organize advocates and policy makers to catalyze a response. We recognized that our communities were at the forefront of an emerging national crisis decades in the making – and that they needed resources and structures to take action.
We took what we learned from those early days and expanded our work to a national scale, adapting hard-won expertise to varied local contexts. For over three decades, Homebase has guided communities to navigate a shifting landscape of homelessness response and influenced national conversations through the identification, development, and promotion of best practices.
Resources
Amplifying and operationalizing what works.
Our practical, data-informed reports, guides, and tools inform policymakers and support our partners to tailor effective practices to meet their local needs.
