About Us
Our Mission
HESTL’s mission is to ensure there is a path to housing for everyone in the St. Louis region.
Our Vision
HESTL envisions a homeless response system across the St. Louis region that ensures homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring.
REGIONAL CONVENER
We bring people together.
We convene cross-sector partnerships among business, philanthropy, government, and nonprofit organizations to strengthen the region’s capacity to respond to homelessness.
NETWORK OF SUPPORT
We strengthen what already works.
We support the organizations and providers doing the day-to-day work of helping people find housing. By connecting partners and sharing resources, we help good ideas move further.
SYSTEMS ACCELERATOR
We help solutions move faster.
We identify barriers, test new approaches, and help scale solutions that can improve housing outcomes across the region.
Homelessness is a regional challenge.
People move across neighborhoods, municipalities, and county lines in search of housing, safety, work, and support. The systems designed to help them need to work across those same boundaries.
House Everyone STL is a 501(c)3 agency that exists to help build that connected system.
