Making decisions about housing and serving clients is often viewed from a lens that is culturally biased. Organizations must continuously promote the skills, practices, and interactions necessary to ensure that social services are delivered in a culturally responsive and competent manner. This workshop addressed cultural competency among your staff and board and how to build it into a program design that will lead to respectful interactions, efficient operations, and improved client outcomes.
