A Racial Equity Lens

John supports agencies prioritizing the work required to center racial equity in programs and policies addressing housing and health needs.

He believes that ending injustices like homelessness depends on calling out institutional racism and how it manifests as both implicit bias and outright discrimination.

He works to amplify the voices of people with lived experience of systemic racism and facilitate meaningful power sharing in planning and decision-making. In this and other ways, he helps organizations and communities improve understanding of the historical and ongoing structural barriers at the root of health and housing disparities impacting Black, Brown, Indigenous and other People of Color.
