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.
“We know that BIPOC individuals have inherent leadership capabilities and skills and it is our deepest hope that at the end of this fellowship they will be positioned to assume Executive Leadership roles across the sector.”
