Open Minds, Open Doors

Open Minds, Open Doors was a series of network-and-learn events that sought to change “hearts and minds” so those who are turning their lives around could gain access to the foundation to their success: housing. It was an innovative campaign designed to persuade landlords and brokers to shift their behavior so they become more open to renting to individuals with histories of justice involvement.
