We will reconvene in Chicago over two and a half days, spending time looking at operationalizing racial equity in all parts of our work, examining whiteness in our foundations and the homelessness system, and setting goals for ourselves for the remainder of Foundations for Racial Equity. Part of our time will be spent jointly with another community of practice, Foundations for Employment and Housing.
