Social Justice
Pathway Homes provides mental health services—starting with safe, stable housing—to those marginalized by poverty and inequity. As part of this, we utilize an equity lens to increase awareness about the systemic barriers encountered by the individuals we serve. This includes:
- Ensuring that our staff and leadership team mirror the racial diversity of our community
- Employing individuals with lived experience as counselors
- Developing a diverse board of directors
- Recruiting volunteers reflective of the community, including older adults
- Establishing the Consumer Advisory Council (CAC) that educates and advocates for the homeless and affordable housing
- Leading beyond our doors in support of social justice
By expanding our inventory of affordable housing, creating homes for individuals with mental health conditions, dismantling barriers that have historically denied housing to those in need, and remaining committed to a housing-first philosophy based on the conviction that housing is a right not a privilege, we are amplifying the voices of those that do not have a voice and are leveling the playing field for marginalized groups.
