Racial Equity & Homelessness 101 & 102
This is a 2-part Racial Equity and Homelessness. The training is held virtually, but can be done in person upon request. Please email racialequity@cohhio.org , for more information.
This training will present a historical overview of systemic racism in the United States and how it has impacted disproportionate numbers of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) in the areas of housing and homelessness. We look at contemporary data that reveals this disproportionality, as well as some of the laws policies, and practices that precipitated it. We also explore how racism manifests at internal, interpersonal, organizational, and institutional levels and consider how to address it proactively.
Training areas include:
A historical overview of racism as it relates to housing and homelessness
The contemporary data that reveals racial disproportionalities in housing and homelessness
An exploration of the four levels of racism
The meaning of equity and other terms relating to anti-racism and racial equity
Engaging in meaningful discussions on race/racism/racial equity
