Partnerships

It takes a village

The NWSN works closely with academic, civic, corporate, financial, government, philanthropic, non-profit, legal and other partners and providers who share our mission to advance the status of women, children, youth, and families experiencing homelessness in our country and bring an end to homelessness. They lend and leverage their treasure, time, expertise, services and resources to the NWSN and its membership for change. Learn more about our Partners in the fight to end and prevent homelessness and how they can help you. Many offer free and discounted goods and services, negotiated by the NWSN.
