Summary

Houston is working to become the first major metro to achieve equilibrium-where housing availability, essential services, and sustainable funding ensure people move from homelessness to a home within 90 days. As the lead agency for The Way Home, CFTH is building the partnerships and infrastructure needed to accomplish this and ensure that no one sleeps outside while awaiting assistance. With your support, we can make this vision a reality.

Challenge

Our system has used disaster and COVID relief funds to house 32,000 people since 2012, with over 80% maintaining stability. But relying on emergency funds is unsustainable. Many-young adults, families, those newly homeless due to economic hardship, and individuals with complex mental health or substance use challenges-fall outside our current resources. We must act now to build a sustainable, inclusive system with cross-disciplinary support to serve everyone facing homelessness.

Solution

Equilibrium builds a lasting system by expanding housing, services, and funding. We're scaling solutions for families facing economic hardship, individuals with severe mental health or substance use challenges, and those exiting systems that influence homelessness. Our short-term goals: no one sleeps outside, more "front doors", faster rehousing, expanded diversion, and targeted support. Your investment drives lasting change.

Long-Term Impact

By supporting Equilibrium, you're helping to house the 3,000 individuals who experience homelessness on any given night. As we reach equilibrium, Houston will lead the nation in scalable, innovative solutions-transforming lives and setting the standard for support systems. Your contribution helps us build a model that not only addresses immediate needs but creates lasting change, offering hope and stability for families, individuals, and communities for generations to come.
