PARTNERS WHO HELPED BUILD FUSE'S LEGACY

The FUSE Collaborative (formerly the Long-Term Stayers Initiative) brought together a diverse network of partners representing housing, homelessness services, healthcare, behavioral health, outreach, corrections, public safety, and other community systems. The organizations listed below contributed their expertise, resources, and commitment to a shared effort to improve housing stability for people experiencing chronic homelessness and those with the most complex and acute needs.

Over its 11½-year history, FUSE benefited from the participation of organizations large and small, each playing a unique role in addressing barriers to housing and advancing coordinated solutions. While participation varied over time, every partner helped strengthen the initiative and contributed to its success.

Together, these organizations demonstrated the power of cross-system collaboration. By sharing knowledge, aligning efforts, and leveraging their collective strengths, FUSE helped hundreds of individuals achieve housing stability, generated important evidence about the impact of supportive housing, and helped shape the coordinated systems and partnerships that continue this work today.
