Building Changes is a Seattle-based nonprofit that seeks to reform the systems affecting people experiencing homelessness. Rather than focusing solely on aid after a housing loss, the organization works to keep families housed by addressing barriers such as rising rents, limited benefits, and confusing, siloed programs. It aims to create fairer, more connected systems and to prevent homelessness by supporting community-led ideas, testing new approaches, and collaborating with policymakers to change rules. Data is used to show what works and why it matters.

Its mission centers on equitable responses to homelessness in Washington State, with emphasis on children, youth, and families and the systems that serve them. Based in Seattle, Building Changes partners with other organizations and foundations to extend its work, such as its collaboration with the Raikes Foundation to launch the Washington State Student and Youth Homelessness COVID-19 Response Fund.
