Our Core Values lead to a simple statement that we use as policy on
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Heading Home is committed to an environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity and which is sensitive to the diversity of all people. Each individual has the right to connect in an atmosphere that promotes equal opportunities and prohibits unlawful discriminatory practices, including harassment. Therefore, Heading Home expects that all relationships among persons will be business-like and free of bias, prejudice, and harassment. Being an inclusive organization and bringing diverse individuals together allows us to more equitably address the issues that face our community.  In doing so, Heading Home prohibits sexual harassment and harassment because of age, race, sex, sexual orientation, color, religion, national origin, disability, pregnancy, marital status, genetic information, veteran status, or any other class.

This policy applies to all employees including managers, supervisors, co-workers and non-employees such as clients, vendors, consultants, volunteers, etc
