The Aileen Getty Foundation supports organizations and endeavors that enhance the environment, our communities, and the lives of individuals through innovation, preservation, connection, and kindness.

The mission of the Downtown Women's Center (DWC) is to provide permanent supportive housing
and a safe and healthy community fostering dignity, respect, and personal stability, and to advocate
ending homelessness among women. Founded in 1978 and now reaching nearly 4,000 women per year,
DWC is the only organization in Los Angeles exclusively dedicated to addressing the immediate
and long-term needs of women overcoming poverty and homelessness on downtown's Skid Row.

The Institute for Urban Initiatives is a non-profit, non-partisan organization in Southern California
that consists of several community-based and faith-based institutes that respond to the economic,
housing, and special needs of neighborhoods, cities, and counties from local, community, regional,
national, international, and faith-based perspectives. The Institute for Urban Initiatives plays a leading
role in homelessness planning and program development in several Southern California communities.

The Massachusetts Housing and Shelter Alliance (MHSA) is a non-profit public policy advocacy organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Massachusetts. Founded in 1988, MHSA represents 100
community-based agencies statewide. Since its founding, MHSA and its members have worked closely
with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to shift the Commonwealth's  response to homelessness
away from an emphasis on emergency shelter and toward a focus on permanent housing solutions.
Through strategic partnerships formed with government, private philathropy, business leaders,
homeless individuals, and service providers, MHSA works to ensure that homelessness does not
become a permanent part of the social landscape. 

The South Middlesex Opportunity Council (SMOC) works in communities across Massachusetts to provide opportunities to enhance self-sufficiency and to create a safety net of support. Founded in 1965, SMOC
is the designated community-based anti-poverty agency for ten local jurisdictions. SMOC's major areas
of programming include: behavioral health services; economic development, education, employment
and workforce development services; energy and financial assistance services; family and nutrition
services; and comprehensive housing services. SMOC serves unaccompanied homeless women through triage/diversion/emergency housing/rapid rehousing; residential recovery programs; women's supportive housing; and wraparound services. SMOC Housing Corporation has developed, owns, and manages a real estate portfolio of over 120 properties with over 1,400 units in 18 communities across the Commonwealth. 

 

The Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA) is a student-run, community-based, non-profit public service organization at Harvard University. PBHA is the umbrella organization for student-directed programs, supported by full-time staff members. Founded in 1904, this student-led organization is more vibrant
than ever and currently engages over 1,500 undergraduates in in 83 student-led social service and
social action programs that benefit over 10,000 people in Boston and Cambridge. Among the core
PBHA programs is the 30-year-old student-run Harvard Square Homeless Shelter which works in
partnership with University Lutheran Church to serve homeless people with dignity and respect.
PBHA convenes the annual Robert Coles Call of Service Lecture. 

 

The American Round Table to Abolish Homelessness (ART), developer of the NEXT PRACTICES approach,
is based in Boston. In pursuit of its mission to abolish homelessness, the Round Table works across the
nation to ensure the rapid dissemination of NEXT PRACTICES that scale solutions to end homelessness
and advance innovations that are data and research driven, consumer preferred, results-oriented,
field-tested, and evidence-based. The Round Table is committed to strategies that ensure that
policymakers are partnered with researchers to inform policy direction and budget investment on homelessness. The Round Table convenes interactive NEXT PRACTICES Colloquies (including one at
Harvard in October 2013 and one at USC in June 2014), to look forward to the future, to position
partners for the opening to accomplish the mission, to be opportunistic. All with the intent of scaling
what works and discovering what may work in the future to end the long misery of homelessness
for our poorest neighbors.
