Description

Homelessness doesn’t impact everyone equally. Some communities are more likely to experience homelessness due to systemic and ongoing racism, discrimination, and disinvestment. But why? This course will explore that question through the lens of the history of one marginalized group. It’s designed for anyone who wants to understand homelessness better.

This is the first course in our three-course Racial Equity Learning Series. You can enroll in the whole series all at once at our Center for Learning front page, or you can take the courses individually.

Anyone enrolled in any Center for Learning course is invited to a live online office hour every month. Some office hours are opportunities to ask questions about material in our courses; others focus on emerging issues or specific populations.

We offer a variety of discounts: see our FAQ page. Questions? Email learning@naeh.org.

I really is not anything that I did not know. I was around when they did the red lining, my parents were fortunate enough that they lived in a neighbor with white people and business. You were right about I am 71 years young and I carry trauma from my ancestors and I will probably have it. When as a young person you watch your grandmother walk 20 mile home from cleaning white folks home and did not money to catch the bus home, so yes I am still salty about it. Just thinking about racism and bigoty and the rest makes me sad and angry. I am so glad that I don't infringe my anger in the work that I do and church is my safe space.
