Centering Racial Equity Is Critical To Ending Homelessness Housing Yet, few studies have focused on how discrimination and racism may shape one’s experience with homelessness services. to fill this gap, this study examined how race and ethnicity are associated with housing outcomes. This study examines racial inequities and homelessness in the united states through mixed methods research in eight communities. we compare the race and ethnicity of those experiencing homelessness. Homelessness is a growing crisis consistently linked to adverse health. at the same time, race is strongly associated with homelessness risk. thus, understanding and addressing racial disparities in homelessness is imperative for health equity. This study used a community engaged approach and qualitative methods to describe the role of informal organizations identified by black adults with lived experience of homelessness as preferred locations for accessing services and to explore the values and beliefs of these informal organizations.

Only by explicitly centering racial equity across research, practice, and policy will it be possible to reduce high rates of homelessness among people of color and, ultimately, end homelessness for everyone. People living in rural communities while homeless are often undercounted and invisible in such vast geographies. across these groups, race and ethnicity can compound the risk of being homeless. It includes summaries, notes, and links to resources that can support research and data utilization towards ending homelessness and advancing racial equity. In the united states (“u.s.”), homelessness is deeply intertwined with racism. as such, the criminalization of homelessness is fundamentally a racial issue.
