Statement regarding equity, inclusion and diversity
OneHolyoke CDC’s Board members, management & employees are committed to building positive relationships with all people with whom we come in contact. Our mission speaks to providing dignified homes. This cannot be achieved unless we are intentional about treating every resident of our apartments, every purchaser of our homes, all recipients of our grants, and everyone in the community respectfully, professionally and in a spirit of goodwill and solidarity. We must be unfailingly anti-racist, and advocate for just treatment for every segment of our community. We aim to help members of our community speak with their own voice, and not presume to decide what is best for others. We aim to promote agency and self-sufficiency. We are committed to being responsive and self-reflective if we are ever suggested to have failed in our ideals. Under our current leadership, we have significantly increased the diversity of our board of directors and workforce. We have increased our bilingual capacity among our office staff. We can and will focus on enhancing our capacity for self-reflection at all levels of the organization. In the fast paced environment of property management, development, and community engagement, doing so is often a challenge because of the demands of time and attention to day to day tasks. We are committed to addressing improved equity, inclusion and diversity by scheduling staff and board trainings and retreats as time and resources allow.
