National Hate Crime Awareness Week | October 12th – 19th, 2024

October 8, 2024

National Hate Crime Awareness Week (NHAW) is a key initiative dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of hate crimes. Pine Court Housing Association affirms its commitment to combatting hate crimes within our communities. Hate crimes, driven by biases against a person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or transgender identity, can manifest in various harmful ways, from verbal and physical abuse and threats.

At Pine Court Housing Association, we stand firm against any form of hate crime and are dedicated to empowering our residents to address and overcome these issues within our community.

NHAW’s Annual Campaign Promotes H.O.P.E.

  • Hate Crime Awareness: Hosting events to broaden public understanding.
  • Operational Responses: Encouraging thoughtful responses to hate crimes within the community.
  • Preventing Hate Crime: Taking proactive measures to prevent incidents where possible.
  • Engaging Communities: Motivating community members to report hate crimes and collaborate towards common goals.
