The Melville Charitable Trust is a philanthropic fund focused on ending homelessness. It prioritizes grantmaking to support proven, durable solutions that help people facing the greatest barriers reclaim stable lives, while also funding exploratory work to identify new approaches when solutions are not yet established. The organization allocates its grantmaking across Connecticut and national policy initiatives, aiming to strengthen both local impact and the broader policy environment. Based in New Haven, Connecticut, the trust operates as a small foundation within the philanthropic sector, emphasizing strategic investments in homelessness-focused programs and advocacy. In addition to its core grantmaking, it has pursued initiatives such as launching the Housing Narrative Lab to reframing the housing conversation, reflecting its involvement in both programmatic and narrative advocacy efforts.
