Commitment to Diversity
DEI Statement
At Belmont Housing, we strive to empower our staff, partners, and community to remove barriers caused by economic and social injustice and inequality by showing compassion, empathy, and understanding within a culture that is diverse and inclusive to all.
What it Means to Belmont
Diversity
Accepting and embracing our employees and community in celebration of our differences. This includes but is not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical abilities, religious or ethical values, national origin, educational attainment, and political beliefs.
Inclusion
Respecting and nurturing a sense of belonging and providing equal opportunities for all to voice their opinions, which we recognize and respect. We value and practice respect for all talents, beliefs, and backgrounds, and we strive to create an atmosphere where our staff and the community we serve feel comfortable and safe to be themselves.
Equity
Our commitment is to provide everyone in our community and staff with equal access to resources and opportunities for growth and success. We strive to maintain impartial, fair practices and programs that guarantee equal chances of success for every individual.
How
Through our DEI Agency Plan, we established goals and the action steps to meet these goals. The plan provides a clear pathway and provides accountability. We understand that this journey does not require an endpoint but a commitment to continued growth.
