Rob Harter is joined by Peter Laugharn, President and CEO of the Hilton Foundation, to discuss how the foundation is tackling homelessness in Los Angeles. The Hilton Foundation has invested millions into addressing this crisis, working closely with government agencies, nonprofit partners, and individuals who have firsthand experience with homelessness.

Topics include:

-The history and mission of the Hilton Foundation

-Why LA is home to 20-25% of the nation's unsheltered population

-How the foundation strategically allocates funding to maximize impact

-The importance of government collaboration in solving homelessness

-Lessons learned from other cities, including Houston and Salt Lake City

-The role of lived experience in shaping effective solutions

-How Measure A will provide sustainable funding for homelessness solutions

Peter also shares insights on how philanthropy can be a high-leverage tool for systemic change and what other cities can learn from LA’s approach.
