We are requesting basic <br />information about your organization’s racial equity work. <br />Describe how the agency incorporates racial equity into its goals. (150 word limit) <br />Oxford House, Inc. (OHI) partnered with C4 Innovations to expand its commitment to <br />racial equity in the field of recovery. The training program aimed to ensure equitable <br />access to recovery support for marginalized communities such as Black, Indigenous, <br />and Latinx groups. OHI's leadership received guidance on interacting with national <br />recovery leaders and addressing deep-seated structures perpetuating racial <br />inequities in substance use disorder treatment and recovery. They worked together to <br />develop innovative strategies to make recovery support accessible, equitable, and <br />effective, benefiting both Oxford House residents and the broader community. <br /> <br />Continuing staff training remains a top priority, offering employees growth <br />opportunities and contributing to an inclusive and effective recovery framework. The <br />aim is to bring about lasting, population-wide changes that guarantee equal access to <br />housing, services, opportunities, and overall well-being, regardless of race. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 9ADEFAD5-C106-45CE-909F-ED02DFA16A16
