Welcome to the Partnership
	The Partnership to End Homelessness is a coalition of agencies that provide housing and services to people who are homeless. Founded in 1999, the Partnership works as leader in the movement to end homelessness. The Partnership's 88 member agencies range from large housing developers to small community-based organizations, representing all points along the continuum of care for people experiencing homelessness: shelters, transitional, and permanent housing; emergency services, specialized services such as mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and employment training; and advocacy to address poverty issues. Together, Partnership members operate over 5,000 beds of emergency, transitional, and permanent housing, and comprise the majority of Chicago's homeless service system. The Partnership acts as the unified voice of homeless service providers. This voice is crucial in the public policy debate. Homeless service providers work on a day-to-day basis with homeless clients, learning directly from clients what they want and need, and observing over a period of time what works. The Partnership applies this collective expertise in key arenas where policy is created. The Partnership also mobilizes member agencies to directly participate in the public policy arena, and provides programming to help agencies mobilize clients.	See What's New!
