Key Party 2026

You’re invited to unlock stable housing for unhoused neighbors in your community. 

The Key Party is an annual celebration of our unique approach to solving homelessness and the lives we’ve changed together to date. This event reflects the innovative and collaborative nature of the organization. Local thought leaders with political, media, real estate, banking, and philanthropic backgrounds will be in attendance, as will the residents we’ve housed. This year, we are also proud to host guest speaker Dr. Jim O’Connell, President of Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program and  Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Thought-provoking conversation, intimate connection, and moments of much-needed hope define these two events, held in our pilot cities of Raleigh & Charlotte this fall.

Why attend?

We unlock housing opportunities. Lotus Campaign partners with the private sector to help people experiencing homelessness access market-rate housing.
We remove barriers, not standards. By reducing landlord risk, we make it easier for property owners to say “yes” without financial concessions.
Just $2,500 sponsors a resident. Every gift helps someone move into stable housing.
The Key Party powers this work. As our signature annual fundraiser, every dollar raised supports residents entering our program and expands the Lotus model into new communities.

Interested in Sponsorship?
