"We can no longer talk about homelessness in relation to just poverty. We must be explicit that housing insecurity is deeply connected to structural racism."
Amanda Andere, CEO, Funders Together to End Homelessness and keynote at Family Promise National's 2021 Innovation Summit.

At the start of 2021, FPGROC convened a Racial Equity Committee comprised of staff, board, and community members as part of our ongoing effort to recognize and respond to the systemic inequities impacting each of us and our families. Please join us in this work!
