EDEN Mission & Vision

EDEN's Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

EDEN’s primary goal is to transition people from housing crisis to housing stability. We believe our vision to end housing insecurity and homelessness in Northeast Ohio can only be achieved when we embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion as both agency values and practices.

EDEN is committed to actualizing diversity, equity and inclusion. To do this, we will:

  • Learn about, identify and address the effects of systemic inequities.
  • Develop and facilitate programs and services that are collaborative, responsive to the input of those with lived experiences, and driven by participants’ unique needs and goals.
  • Celebrate the uniqueness of each program participant, staff member, volunteer, community partner, and stakeholder.
  • Contribute to the education and growth of a supportive and inclusive region.

We recognize that building and sustaining diversity, equity, and inclusion requires an ongoing and evolving process. Thus, EDEN’s DEI Initiative will remain a central component of our Agency Strategic Plan. To continue to embed equity into our work, we will engage in honest conversations; participate in educational opportunities; seek guidance from staff, participants, partners, and the community; and continuously challenge ourselves to further justice, inclusion, and equity via our services and day-to-day operations.
