The Berks Coalition to End Homelessness stands against police brutality of any kind, and stands with those fighting against the systematic racism and inequity so prevalent in the United States. In Berks County, while only 7.2% of the overall population identifies as black, black people make up 35% of the homeless population. This gross disparity is unacceptable, and BCEH allies with the community to fight for racial equity in regard to the issue of fair housing specifically and across all issues. 

As individuals and an organization, we commit to looking more closely at our work in a way that better incorporates anti-racist philosophy and recognizes the value of Black Lives in our community. We aim to continue this conversation for as long as it takes to reach a place of true racial equity in our community, county, and beyond.
