The Minnesota Interagency Council on Homelessness is developing a justice-oriented statewide plan to prevent and end homelessness and has contracted with Rainbow Research to support the first phase of the work. The first phase is focused on developing an operational definition of housing, racial, and health justice for people experiencing homelessness. These definitions will drive the second phase towards specific and impactful actions. MICH and Rainbow Research are committed to centering the voices of people who have experienced homelessness throughout the process. We are excited to have Rainbow Research staff joining the weekly provider webinar tomorrow, March 16 at 1:00 p.m., to talk about the opportunities to help shape this work and get the word out about the consultants they are hiring.
We’d encourage you to share the opportunity to participate in tomorrow’s discussion. Anyone who is interested in joining can register here:
If you have any questions about your registration, please email Elizabeth Dressel.
Rainbow Research is recruiting people with lived experience of homelessness to bring their expertise and knowledge to our team as temporary, paid consultants to guide us as we strive toward racial justice, housing justice, and health justice for people experiencing homelessness. Rainbow will be hiring eight consultants.
 Help us spread the word about this opportunity! You can share the following information:
