Page Text: About Us ABOUT US HAND is a nonprofit membership collective comprised of over 450 institutions working across the private, public and social sectors to collaborate in the production and preservation of affordable housing in the Capital Region of Baltimore, Washington, and Richmond. Representing the ecosystem of partners who collaborate in bringing equitable communities to fruition, HAND works to disrupt the systems that perpetuate inequity in the communities we serve. We do this by embedding racial equity into our operations, practices, and programming, and activating our membership through policy forums and advocacy designed to drive impact for Black and brown communities residing at the sharpest intersections of inequity. GUIDING PRINCIPLES CONVENE Provide opportunities for members to come together across jurisdictions and sectors and strengthen relationships in support of a shared commitment to equitable development. EDUCATE Engage and support members through collaborative learning, trainings, and resource sharing that builds our members’ capacity to dismantle structural racism and drive action towards solutions that address the region’s affordable housing crisis. ACTIVATE Amplify our collective voice and leverage our unique ability to challenge the “business as usual” paradigm to advance equity and justice through policy, systems, and institutional change. THE VISION HAND envisions a future where Black and brown communities share equitably in the knowledge, wealth and resources uniquely represented in and between Baltimore, Washington, and Richmond. Despite continued economic growth, the rise of inequality persists – with compounded inequities impacting communities of color, challenging their humanity and opportunity to realize their full potential.
