After the racial reckoning in the summer of 2020, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs sprung up throughout the country, including in public housing authorities. Yet there is more to DEI than pledging support for its principles. Two years later, public housing authorities are reexamining their operations, resident engagement, and external programs and policies through a racial equity lens. Hear from your fellow PHA leaders who are putting their principles into action at their housing authorities and in their communities on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
