FOCUS St. Louis® is the region’s premier leadership organization, preparing diverse leaders to work cooperatively for a thriving St. Louis region through experience-based leadership training, civic issue education and public engagement initiatives.

We began with housing in 1975, but experience and much listening taught us that home is more than housing. To truly thrive, people also need access to quality childcare, education, health, jobs, financial services, and more. They need help in a crisis and support to achieve dreams. Successful communities provide those resources. Beyond Housing empowers communities to provide them.
