Three Initiatives
The raceing home initiative sits at the intersection of racial justice and housing stability. To prevent and end homelessness, we must reckon with systemic racism and discriminatory laws, policies, and practices that create a disproportionate percentage of Black, Indigenous, and people of color experiencing homelessness. We support community organizations, Continua of Care, and local and state governments to interrogate and transform homeless response systems to achieve more equitable processes and outcomes.
The just community initiative builds partnerships to positively affect social determinants of health, especially within communities intentionally under and dis-invested in. Awareness of wide health disparities and inequities is necessary, but insufficient. We must support and resource community advocacy and coalition building to challenge and rewrite policies and laws that undergird inequities.
