Racial Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion
Mercy Housing was founded on the belief that housing justice is social justice. We live by the values of respect, justice, and mercy and commit ourselves to advancing racial equity, diversity, and inclusion (REDI).
REDI is the core of who we are. Our commitment to these values is unwavering – across all of our work. They are central to Mercy Housing’s mission and impact. We know that having varied perspectives helps generate better ideas to solve the complex housing challenges of a changing — and increasingly diverse — country.
Piloted Brave Space conversations in two regions. A Brave Space is an open space that fosters inclusivity by inviting all individuals to participate in discussions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Developed a best practice guide for launching Employee Resources Groups (ERG's) with plans to pilot ERG's in two regions in the first half of 2024.
Re-launched the internal REDI SharePoint site to make it easier for Mercy Housing staff to find and learn about new REDI information/topics.
