Housing Funders Affinity Group Meeting

24 February 2026 / Inquire about joining the group

The Housing Funders Affinity Group is a new group of philanthropic funders engaged in focused dialogue on housing as one of the defining issues of our time. It’s a forum to share insights, elevate impactful strategies, and examine how we—as a community—can align our efforts to drive systemic change. 

Together we are exploring how philanthropy can support innovation in housing policy, strengthen partnerships with governments and community organizations, and ensure lived experience informs our work. The goal is not just to respond to the crisis, but to deepen our collaborative efforts and contribute meaningfully to long-term, equitable solutions. 

Join us!

If you are already a member of this group, you will receive a calendar invitation.

Andre Williams has called Tiohtià:ke (Montreal) home for the last 10 years. Tiohtià:ke has long been a meeting place for various Indigenous nations, including the Kanien’kehà:ka (Mohawk) Nation, who are part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
