About this event
Join us for a conversation around the homelessness crisis and the launch of the Housing First Fund by Maze Impact and CRESCER. We’ll explore how to design scalable, financially viable solutions that place housing at the foundation of impact. From the streets of Lisbon to broader systems change, we’ll unpack why housing must come first—and how innovative funding models can unlock a city where everyone has a home.
What we’ll explore
Lisbon’s reality: what the data tells us about homelessness, and why Housing First changes lives
Unlocking capital: how financial innovation can scale evidence-based housing solutions
Collaboration in action: what it takes to bring together cities, investors, and service providers for lasting impact
