Getting Involved with the Partnership




The Partnership to End Homelessness uses our membership meetings to educate and involve members in the movement to end homelessness. The Partnership's committees provide opportunities for members to be more intimately involved in the direction of the organization.



Pastor Marvin Thomas of Walls Memorial Church, whose shelter serves homeless men. Membership Meetings

    • Full Membership Meetings are held 3 times per year, typically in the spring, fall and winter.
    • Executive Directors' Luncheons are convened on an as needed basis in order to engage upper level staff in larger policy discussions.


Regional Collaboratives

Partnership members also meet by region. Four times per year, the Partnership convenes Regional Collaboratives on the south, west, and north sides of Chicago.

The Regional Collaboratives aim to implement Partnership programs at the local level and to bring local issues to the membership at large. Regional activities include:
    • Sharing information and resources at the local level
    • Finding issues that are shared within a region and determining action steps
    • Utilizing this smaller setting to develop consensus and commentary on larger issues affecting the membership
    • Exploring membership expansion to ensure that all points along the continuum are represented and involved
    • Undertaking advocacy
