FHO's Commitment to Racial Justice

Housing Justice is Racial Justice

​

Deeply rooted systems of racial bias, discrimination, and segregation greatly limit the housing options and life opportunities of millions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The Fund for Housing and Opportunity (FHO) is dedicated to dismantling racial inequities, repairing harms, and restructuring systems to ensure equitable housing and life outcomes for all people. We are also committed to supporting organizations that build the leadership, power, and wealth of people facing housing instability, especially BIPOC communities, who rightfully must be at the forefront of advancing housing security and racial justice for all people.

​

FHO's grantmaking prioritizes renters of color—including Black, Indigenous, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders, and Latinx—who are extremely low-income to low-income or who do not have a home at all (approximately 14.9 million households). FHO recognizes how intersectional forces of oppression, discrimination, and privilege operate in the housing system across race, ethnicity, disability, sexuality, gender, immigration status, and other aspects of identity.
