Please describe any activities your organization is doing to address racial equity. <br />a. % of staff that have attended racial equity training : 61% <br />b. % of board that have attended racial equity training: 72% <br /> <br />Note: Racial equity training is a required component of Habitat’s onboarding process with a 100% staff and <br />board participation standard. 100% of full-time permanent staff who have been with us at least one year <br />have completed racial equity training or are registered to do so. New hires will complete training within their <br />first year. We also have five new Board members who will complete racial equity training within their first <br />year. <br /> <br />c. Any additional activities: <br /> <br />In 2021, Habitat amended organizational policy to better serve the Latinx population by expanding the <br />definition of qualifying households to include those with TPS or DACA status, in addition to U.S. citizens and <br />legal permanent residents. Habitat can now offer the stability of homeownership to a vulnerable and <br />marginalized segment of the Orange County population. In recent application periods, Habitat intentionally <br />focused outreach efforts on the Latinx community and families at risk of displacement from local <br />manufactured home parks. We will continue to seek ways to meet our responsibility of service to historically <br />marginalized populations and to identify and address barriers to homeownership for Orange County <br />residents. <br /> <br />PROGRAM INFORMATION <br />*Please submit for each program if applying for funding for more than one program . <br /> <br />9.
