About Home Partnership Foundation
The Home Partnership Foundation focuses on reducing homelessness and stabilizing low-income households across Idaho, funding emergency shelters, supportive housing developers, housing authorities, and front-line human services agencies. Grants concentrate on organizations that provide shelter, rental assistance, case management and basic health services, with a clear emphasis on local/regional partners rather than national intermediaries. The foundation repeatedly supports the same core set of housing and homeless-service providers, while also funding community health and family-support programs that help clients maintain housing stability.

Who They Fund
About Home Partnership Foundation
The Home Partnership Foundation Inc centers its giving on housing stability for low-income households and people facing homelessness in Idaho, with repeated support for the same local providers across several years. The largest recent awards show how broad that support can be: Catch Inc received $536,760 in 2025 for general assistance, Terry Reilly Health Services received $508,300 in 2025 for general assistance, and Idaho Housing & Finance Association received $468,326 in 2025 for general assistance. Those grants sit alongside housing-assistance awards to shelter and service organizations that help people stay housed or move back into housing. The foundation’s pattern is strongly local and service-oriented. Boise-based grantees such as Jesse Tree of Idaho, Ada County Housing Authority, Interfaith Sanctuary Housing, and St Vincent De Paul of SW Idaho appear multiple times in the recent grants list, as do regional partners in Nampa, Twin Falls, Pocatello, and Idaho Falls. The recurring mix of housing authorities, housing developers, emergency shelter providers, and community health services suggests a funder that treats housing as part of a broader stability network, not as a stand-alone issue. Its grants are also used for general assistance and housing assistance, indicating flexibility in how support is delivered to frontline organizations.
What Home Partnership Foundation Funds
Housing assistance is a core theme. The foundation gave $292,882 in 2023 and $261,545 in 2024 to Terry Reilly Health Services for housing assistance, and it also supported housing-related work at Idaho Housing & Finance Association with $118,917 in 2023 and $92,381 in 2024. Emergency shelter and homelessness services are another clear focus. Jesse Tree of Idaho received $247,102 in 2024 for housing assistance and $240,360 in 2025 for general assistance, while Interfaith Sanctuary Housing received $40,291 in 2024 for housing assistance. The foundation also supports basic-needs and community-health partners that help stabilize households. Catch Inc received $75,924 in 2023 for housing assistance and $536,760 in 2025 for general assistance, and South Central Community Action Partner received $42,102 in 2024 for housing assistance and $44,431 in 2025 for general assistance.
How Home Partnership Foundation Gives
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $6,025, median of $9,920, and p75 of $21,102. The recent grants list also shows a wider operating range, with several six-figure awards and many smaller awards clustered around direct service work. Recipients repeat across years: Terry Reilly Health Services, Jesse Tree of Idaho, Idaho Housing & Finance Association, Catch Inc, and South Central Community Action Partner all appear more than once, which points to sustained support rather than one-off gifts. The foundation makes program-related investments and appears to give through a family foundation structure led by Gerald M Hunter. The grants data does not show an open application process.
