Equity Division

Overview

Learn about the Equity Office, how it helps the City, and then request a diversity, equity and inclusion training, if you're interested.  

Equity, as proscribed by Article 1 39-1, means closing the gaps in policy, practice, and allocation of resources so that race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and income do not predict one’s success, while also improving outcomes for all. In other words, Equity means fairness—making sure everyone has the same chance to succeed.

Mission

The mission of the Equity Division is to ensure, citywide, that our policies, programs, and budget are fair, and meet the needs of Baltimore City’s diverse communities.
