Win’s Fiscal Year 2025 Policy & Advocacy Agenda
Our FY25 Policy Agenda lays out our policy priorities for ending family homelessness,
which fall into two main categories: Promoting Housing as a Human Right and
Strengthening Supports for Families Experiencing Homelessness. This agenda also
reflects our commitment to research, best practices, the voices of our clients and direct
care staff, who help guide our priorities and contribute their own during insight sessions.
Finally, the Win mission to end homelessness inherently intersects with broader equity
goals, and we are focused on solutions that will advance racial justice, gender equality,
and civil liberties.
