The Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Office anchors and drives; we provide a firm foundation for living our values of equity and racial justice, by urging us to the organization we want to be.
We shepherd the agency’s Equity and Racial Justice work by engaging, internally, with executive leadership, management, and staff to develop and implement plans designed to meet the agency’s goal of a diverse and inclusive workforce and tracking agency-wide progress toward meeting the Equity and Racial Justice goals of the agency’s strategic plan, the Statewide Housing Plan (SWHP) to ensure OHCS’ efforts improve service equity to Oregonians. The EDI Office also provides vision, direction, counsel, and leadership to all employees in areas of equity, racial justice, diversity, and inclusion, in their daily work, and in the programs and activities of the agency.
