Urban Pathways’ mission is to create sustainable housing solutions for adults in
New York City experiencing homelessness and housing vulnerability. We believe
that we can best achieve this when the voices of different backgrounds and
experiences, particularly those with shared experiences of the people we serve, are
represented in our policies, practices, and decisions.
For this to be possible, it is critical that we:
❖ Seek more diverse representation in all decision-making bodies and foster an
environment of inclusion and belonging by embracing different voices,
perspectives, and opinions in our discourse.
❖ Regularly review our policies, practices, and procedures to ensure they continue
to address the evolving needs of the people we serve and staff, as well as work
towards promoting DEIA principles and the needs of the organization.
❖ Continually seek out the voices and opinions of the people we serve and our
staff to ensure they are incorporated in changes/decisions that might impact
them and/or help promote the work.
❖ Hold ourselves accountable by regularly tracking and reporting on progress on
DEIA and related initiatives.
