Racial Equity Fellowship
The Racial Equity in Homelessness Fellowship is a 9-month experience for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) leaders in the Homeless Response Sector across Los Angeles County who are committed to racial equity and justice.
The Racial Equity Fellows spend time building relationships with each other, connecting to larger questions around racial equity and homelessness, and creating a framework for centering equity and inclusion within the workplace.

The Fellowship gives us the space to pour into our own cup, pour into each other's cup, and actually take care of ourselves so we can stop talking about it and actually be about it.
The Fellowship is led by some folks that really took a chance on trying to build something with love, dignity, and respect for one another. They are folks that decided to help others reach that next level.
