The Voice of Affordable Housing
Join NPH’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Action Plan Working Group!
NPH is building on the momentum of its work in diversity, equity, and inclusion to take a more intentional approach to advancing racial equity in the affordable housing movement. We will be working on both operationalizing equity within NPH as well as supporting our members who share this priority to move forward.
Get involved! We will be building an expanded DEI Working Group to develop a racial equity action plan for the organization and its membership for 2019-20. The Working Group will build our collective ability to build racial equity frames for our work, conduct more thoughtful racial equity analyses of our policies and procedures, communicate effectively about race, and ultimately develop racial equity action plans for our institutions. Click here for more information, including participation requirements.
JOIN THE DEI WORKING GROUP
Space will be limited, so please let us know of your interest no later than December 21.
Thank you for joining us at our Affordable Housing Conference!
