Let's work together so our neighbors can thrive

Episcopal Impact Fund’s Housing Security Grants will be made to organizations providing permanent supportive housing or interim housing with comprehensive support services, prioritizing programs for families, youth, or young adults. Interim housing may include, but is not limited to, transitional housing, emergency shelter or other shelter programs, bridge housing, inclement weather shelter, and safe parking sites.

 

The Impact Fund prioritizes funding organizations with demonstrated outcomes and measurable goals. We also prioritize organizations with annual operating budgets under $15 million. However, under some circumstances, we will consider restricted grants to organizations whose budgets exceed $15 million with new and innovative programs that are without funding from existing sources.
