February is #BlackHistoryMonth, a time for celebration and recognition. It’s also a reminder that housing systems don’t work the same for everyone.

Barriers can show up in everyday moments:
• Who is believed
• Who is denied access
• Who is labelled “high risk”
This is why #equitablehousing matters.
