Our work at BRHP starts with housing, but it doesn't end there. As race conscious housing advocates, we know that addressing inequity requires a holistic approach. A quality life is predicated on where you live, the education you receive, your access to affordable healthcare, the income potential of job opportunities you have, your ability to build wealth, and more. While we continue to expand opportunity for thousands of families through housing mobility, we are also working with partners to tackle issues of health (our Healthy Children Voucher Demonstration), education (our participation in the Bridges Collaborative), and economic mobility (our developing asset building program).

As we look to the new year, we intend to make bold moves in these areas. We hope to share more about these initiatives as they are implemented and expanded in 2022. As you can imagine, taking on new initiatives requires that we expand our capacity. As you'll see in this newsletter, we are hiring for several key leadership positions. I hope you will consider and share these opportunities with your networks.

In the coming year, we also seek to further existing partnerships and create new partnerships. Cross-disciplinary work requires partnership and community and we are thankful for your continued engagement and support of our mission.

As you consider your end of the year giving options, I hope you will consider BRHP. With your financial contributions over the last year, we were able to provide record levels of support in both school supplies for our annual Back to School Supply Drive and summer camp grants to the families we serve. We look forward to carrying this momentum in 2022, increasing the number of children we are able to support with the tools and experiences they need to be successful and enriched.

It's about more than housing, it's about opportunity and a better future.
