Leadership and Management Demographic information regarding management, boards and advisory groups will be updated in 2015 and reported on an annual basis.

48. ANALYSIS ACROSS PROGRAMS 1.General Observations Many organizations have a commitment to equity but do not have a public statement about racial equity. Organizational assessments sometimes lacked program level assessment needed for program level equity plans. Workforce and leadership does not appear to mirror clients being served. Also workforce and leadership sometimes does not mirror general demographics of the population. Budget, purchase, and subrecipient allocation decisions are not always made using a racial equity lens. Organizations collect data, but do not always analyze it for disparities in access or outcomes needed for a program level racial equity plan.

53. Housing Access and Retention Q. What opportunities does this analysis suggest? Q. How will you measure progress (data, behavior, etc...) (informs performance indicators) CategoryObjectivesActions Person or Position Responsible Timeline Progress Indicators Select the assessment category the action will address. What is intended to change within the organization? What activity will be accomplished within the planning period to achieve this Objective? Who is responsible for completing and reporting on the action for the annual status report? When will the action be completed? How will progress towards change be measured? Indicators can be qualitative and/or quantitative. This should be based on Question 2 from Analysis Tab. Ex.DataUnderstand which populations are most disproportio nately affected by homelessnes s Collect demographic street count data. Analyze it for possible disparities in homelessness, access to programs and outcomes. Seek the vendor most qualified to house men who are homeless and black and retain their housing for 24 months. Housing Access and Retention Team Fall 2016The disparity in homeless is reduced to levels comparable to the percentage of black men in Portland.

Case study: Disparities in homelessness among African Americans in Multnomah County Identified disparity through analysis of trended point-in-time count data In FY13-14, 48% of people served by PHB- funded providers were people of color In FY14-15 that increased to 58% Beginning to address through multiple approaches: Through equity focus in existing contracts, improve access and outcomes for people of color at “mainstream” providers Make direct investment in culturally-specific organizations

55. Case study: Disparities in homelessness among African Americans in Multnomah County New contract with Urban League of Portland, funds two components: Direct housing placement and supportive services to house 50 households Convene planning group of African American leaders to: Share learning from pilot Assess need more broadly in community Plan for how to bring to scale through additional investment and coordination Racial disparities in homelessness in Multnomah County (source: 2015 Point-in-time Count)2015 Point-in-time Count

56. PHB CONTRACT EQUITY PLAN Next Steps:  Program Equity Plans should at a minimum include strategies that address identified demographic disparities in service, employment and leadership and community partnerships.  Continue to meet with contract managers to update scopes of service. Scopes of Service will include actions relevant to the equity plans and Subrecipients will be held accountable to those actions.  Continue to use your contract manager as a partner in developing plans and contract scopes of service that will address racial disparities that in the organization or program.  Client, employee, leadership and management data, assessment plans and equity plans will be shared in the Fall 2015.
