Donor Spotlight: CORT Furniture
Communications Admin • May 6, 2020
Coalition donors make a huge positive impact on the work to solve homelessness in the Houston region. Their support means the Coalition can continue to align funding, agencies, and work so we can end homelessness for people and families as quickly as possible.
This month we would like to point our donor spotlight on CORT Furniture for their continued partnership and generous support of our mission!
CORT began its local partnership with the Coalition for the Homeless in 2015 by joining our Landlord Marketing workgroup to provide expertise and financial support for our work to recruit apartment properties for the homeless response system. CORT has also been a proud sponsor of many Coalition events, including last year's "Pancakes and Solutions" World Homeless Day Breakfast!
Across the US, CORT is a business and philanthropic leader in their industry. They make houses - both temporary and permanent - into homes by providing high-quality delivered and assembled furniture and home goods. CORT also supports many Permanent Supportive Housing projects and partner agencies throughout Houston and the country by offering top customer service.
CORT has also stepped up in a leadership role during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing furniture for organizations like FEMA and for traveling nurses and healthcare workers.
In addition to the financial support that CORT provides to the Coalition, their employees forge meaningful bonds with us (and the other agencies they partner with!) and always go above and beyond for our local homeless response system.
The staff and Board of Directors at the Coalition are proud to count CORT Furniture and its team members as friends and supporters - thank you for your generosity!
CFTH is testing how artificial intelligence can help connect people at risk of homelessness with existing prevention resources more efficiently.
Learn how the SMART team brings CFTH and community partners together to connect people experiencing homelessness with coordinated care and support.
When someone experiences homelessness, the right solution is not always a long-term housing program. Sometimes a person needs help replacing an ID, reconnecting with family, finding an affordable shared home or overcoming another immediate barrier. That idea guided CFTH Presents: Building Better Pathways — Creating Faster Routes to Stability . The Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County (CFTH) hosted the discussion with leaders who oversee and carry out Rapid Resolutions across The Way Home, the Houston region’s homeless response system.
