As a team, everyone at Council for the Homeless (CFTH) strives to make sure that all of our clients feel empowered and included, that they matter as individuals. All of this hard work is one in many ways, including data collection and analysis. We also solicit direct feedback from clients on the quality of our work.
It is our responsibility as service providers to understand and remedy racial disparities that occur when people access emergency shelter and housing assistance in our community,” shares CFTH Executive Director, Kate Budd. “We do this by breaking down program data by race and ethnicity and analyzing the outcomes of each program,” she says.
Two recent articles in The Columbian present an interesting and disturbing juxtaposition to each other. One, heralding the opening of a waterfront tower describes beautifully designed, immaculately constructed condominiums, complete with luxury standard touches and rent costs ranging from $2,250 to more than $5,000 per month. The other, detailing the soaring rent prices that many thousands in our community are currently facing. Could these two stories both be set in Clark County?
