Advancing Racial Equity in Housing & Homeless Services, Part I
Online Course
A strong understanding and underpinning of equity is crucial in human service fields for service delivery, client retention, staff retention, and overall organizational health. This foundational equity course is for Continuum of Care (CoC) members, housing providers, homeless and housing service providers, community support services, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), and Public Housing Authorities (PHA) who are beginning to build foundational knowledge on equity from an anti-racist lens.
Participants in the course will learn grounding concepts, frameworks, and language in equity, centered on racial equity. We will cover topics including equity, racial equity, intersectionality, white supremacy culture, power, and cultural humility. We will also touch on the history of racism in human services. Throughout the course participants will begin the process of self-introspection on how they participate in systems and how they can be an agent and champion for equity. Participants will leave the course with a base understanding of how equity, racial equity, and anti-racism impact service delivery and organizational culture.
