Expanding Housing
to eliminate the housing backlog.
Providing Support
to promote long-term stability.
Prioritizing Prevention
to provide immediate support when young people are at risk of homelessness.
Why invest in youth? When people are young, change is lifelong.
Our Community is Doing This Together
We are mobilizing youth with lived experience, landlords, service partners, government leaders, philanthropic supporters and national advisors to realize this vision.
Why Pathfinders?
We have 55+ years of trusted service to our Milwaukee community.
Youth shape our vision with their leadership and lived expertise.
What we do works, and our results show it.
Our leadership team brings both professional and lived experience.
Pathfinders is powered by supporters at every level, from in-kind donations to seven-figure ($1M+) investments.
Funding partners regularly celebrate the strength of our fiscal management, program outcomes and approach to our work.
Pathfinders is a leading voice elevating youth homelessness as a priority locally and nationally.
5x philanthropic growth has allowed us to invest in our people and expand solutions to youth homelessness.
Our strategies are backed by funding from multiple government agencies.
Strong fiscal stewardship has allowed Pathfinders to weather volatility and continue our plans for growth.
Why Invest?
When we prioritize the housing needs of Milwaukee’s young people, the entire community benefits.
Pressure declines on costly crisis systems such as shelters, justice/legal and emergency healthcare. We see reduced public expenditures and shorter waitlists across the homeless service system, along with safer neighborhoods, healthier families and a stronger local workforce.
Your partnership opens doors to homes, safety and possibilities for youth who simply want a safe place to live and a chance to make their way forward.
