Background on Come Home Funds

Come Home Funds originated from a group of community foundations in Michigan when they noticed their communities facing difficulties in retaining and attracting a skilled and educated workforce. This is common in many areas across the nation as populations leave their communities and invest their skills and education elsewhere -- often referred to as “brain-drain.”

About

Philanthropy across the state has been working collaboratively to address the pressing problem of homelessness in our state. Central to the homelessness crisis is the pressing need for affordable housing. Too many families experience homelessness due to rising rents and stagnant wages. Consequently, funders concerned with this issue may have heard about discussions around whether there should be a “right” to either shelter or permanent housing.
