April Discussion: Rental Assistance and Racial Justice

Join us for our monthly Housing Justice is Racial Justice meeting. This month’s topic: rental assistance and racial justice!

We’ll be talking about rental assistance voucher programs like CityFHEPS, the challenges those programs face, and what that all has to do with racial justice and housing justice.

This is an informal reading and discussion group for OHI members to learn together about the intersections of housing justice and racial justice and the roots of the housing and homelessness crisis in policies driven by systemic racism. It's a "101" type of space to learn and grow together, so no expertise is required (in fact, it’s geared towards folks who may not know much about these topics!) and is open to all OHI members. Each meeting focuses on a different “text” chosen by an OHI member that will serve as a jumping-off point for discussion. (Want to choose a text and help facilitate a meeting in the future? Reach out to Will at will@openheartsinitiative.org.)
