The proposed training, to be offered by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is of paramount importance in addressing the urgent and persistent housing disparities that plague our country. HUD, a key player in meeting the nation’s housing needs and combating housing discrimination, is tasked with fostering inclusive and sustainable communities and ensuring the availability of affordable housing for all (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, n.d.).
A needs assessment has revealed a significant need for training around equitable housing practices, particularly in addressing racism and economic inequality in housing. Current research indicates that there are unjust biases in housing policies that continue to have a discriminatory impact on people of color (McElwain, 2023). Therefore, it is imperative for HUD employees to develop a heightened awareness of social equity when formulating housing policies and urban development strategies. This will improve policy implementation and equip the staff with the necessary skills to implement fair housing concepts.
The proposed training will be supplemented with training designed for both ordinary staff and managerial levels, therefore providing efficiency by reaching tier one—those who set policies—as well as tier two—those who implement them in practice. The training will involve all the participants across the company, ensuring that change starts from the company level and continues to the participant level regarding equitable housing practices.
The proposed training topic is Social Equity in Housing Policy and Practice. Emphasis will be on the systemic and structural nature of discrimination, the role of legislation regulating discrimination, such as the Fair Housing Act, and real-life strategies for involving diverse populations in urban development processes (McElwain, 2023).
The training will be offered in a blended delivery mode where face-to-face sessions will be delivered in conjunction with online mode. The form of the preliminary structure is characterized by group discussions, case and teamwork, application of interactive and presentations approaches. Such format ensures flexibility while at the same time ensuring all participants are involved in the discussion.
