Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Statement

The underlying systems for education, health, housing, and employment perpetuate homelessness and disproportionately affect people of color and other marginalized groups. For children, the effects of homelessness are especially traumatic. At Family Gateway, we deliver services using an evidence-based approach, are building a staff and board that represent the communities we serve, and consciously incorporate lived experience from current and previous clients. We seek to address the barriers and disparities that people of color and other marginalized groups too often face. We believe that every family deserves safety and stability to regain self-sufficiency and while in our care, we walk alongside families to advocate for them, ensuring they feel valued and understand their importance.
