Community of practice
Our community of practice
Equal Housing Initiative’s Community of Practice is managed by a core group based on an agreed coordination mandate as noted earlier in this document. The core group provides administrative and program support as necessary.
The inner circle serves as a voluntary advisory steering committee with an informal structure, meeting on a quarterly basis or as frequently in the year as the community decides (individual members may contact the core group on demand).
The outer circle embraces interested members, contributors, and readers in a loose network, that may come and go, meeting and engaging as needed.

Flexible Structure
The Community of Practice has a flexible, non-hierarchical structure that allows for meaningful engagement and participation from a wide range of stakeholders. At the core is a “core group” that provides administrative and program support, while an “inner circle” serves as a voluntary advisory steering committee and is comprised of a dedicated team of advisors who bring a wealth of expertise and diverse perspectives to the table. These respected leaders in the fields of housing, social services, and community development provide invaluable guidance and support to help the organization achieve its mission.

Shared Expertise and Perspectives
The “outer circle” of the Community of Practice encompasses a broader network of interested members, contributors, and readers who engage with Equal Housing Initiative as needed. This diverse group brings a wealth of expertise, lived experiences, and unique perspectives to the table, enriching the organization’s work and ensuring it remains responsive to the needs of the communities it serves.
