Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPoC) are overrepresented in national and Connecticut homelessness statistics due to the historical legacy and persistence of structural racism. With the guidance of CSH and several partner organizations, the Connecticut Collaborative for Race Equity (the Collaborative) sought to develop a framework to address racial disparity in the housing and homelessness sector. The Collaborative engaged in a collective learning, listening, and human-centered design process to center the voices of BIPoC in order to create a race equity framework to advance equitable access to housing resources and services for homeless and high need individuals and families.
