Advancing Racial Equity in Housing, Land, and Development

The Government Alliance on Race and Equity, Ground Works Consulting, and the Association of Bay Area Governments announce a new resource Advancing Racial Equity in Housing, Land, and Development: A toolbox for racial equity practitioners in government.

The toolbox includes materials for local government staff and their community partners to embed racial equity in housing and planning agencies’ structures, policies, and practices. Materials include conceptual frameworks and the tools and best practices to apply these frameworks in a local government setting.

The primary audience for the toolbox is racial equity practitioners within local housing, planning, and community development agencies with some understanding of racial equity concepts and strategies and a desire to learn more about how to apply them to housing and land use contexts. It is designed for practitioners to begin to use the toolbox’s resources with other colleagues and community partners.

Read the Executive Summary.

Introduction.

Section 1: Leadership for resources to lead housing justice initiatives.

Section 2: Racial Equity in Government for resources to transform planning and housing agencies and the field more broadly.

Section 3: Racial Equity in Housing and Planning Policy.

Section 4: Narrative and Communications resources to change narratives and communicate about housing justice.

Section 5: Community Partnerships resources to shape community and government relationships.

Resource Library for other research, readings, tools and trainings.
