We are honored to announce that CSH’s Redesigning Access by Centering Equity (RACE Initiative) has been named a Silver Winner in the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion: Community Engagement category in the 4th Annual Anthem Awards. With more than 2,300 entries submitted from 34 countries worldwide, the 4th Annual Anthem Awards was the most competitive season yet.
“The Finalists of this year’s Anthem Awards are truly inspiring and I am honored to help elevate their impact,” said Anthem Awards General Manager, Patricia McLoughlin. “At this moment, there is a lot of uncertainty in our world, but the tireless and extraordinary efforts of the Anthem Awards community provide hope that a better tomorrow is possible. Thank you to everyone doing this work and making an impact.”
The RACE Initiative is the centerpiece of CSH’s efforts to build the organizational capacity of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) affordable/supportive housing developers by increasing their access to capital, providing guidance and expertise, and fostering systems change by addressing barriers to growth. Through the RACE Initiative, CSH is holistically addressing systemic racism that has caused both an overrepresentation of BIPOC within the homeless system and an underrepresentation of BIPOC developers in affordable/supportive housing.
