Community Advancement Network Race Equity Action Framework Presentation to Community Development Commission By Raul Alvarez, CAN Executive Director July 12, 2022 CAN’s Main Website http://canatx.org/ CAN DASHBOARD INDICATORS www.canatx.org/dashboard Criminal & Civil Justice Housing, Health & Human Services Educational & Economic Opportunity Race Equity Action Framework Addressing Concentrated Wealth & Power Workforce Development State/National Legislation & Policy Social Capital & Community Leadership Expand Opportunity for Youth & Adults INSTRUCTIONS FOR NAVIGATING Race Equity Action Framework (REAF) The Race Equity Action Framework was developed by the Community Advancement Network (CAN) as a way to couple data outlining racial disparities in our local community with information about existing efforts to address these disparities. Please note there are entities and data that should appear in this resource that as of yet do not. This is a living document that will be updated regularly to reflect any changes and omissions. To inform us of any additions or revisions that may be necessary please email info@canatx.org. COMPONENTS OF THE FRAMEWORK DATA DETAILING RACIAL DISPARITIES In each area of disparity, we share relevant data and include citations so that you may refer directly to the source cited in case you are interested in additional detail or context. ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC DISPARITIES A listing of local entities addressing specific disparities. For those areas where only a few or no local entities exist, we list state/national entities that may serve as a resource. Please note that we differentiate between people of color-led organizations and other organizations. The former are those whose staff and board composition are at least 50% people of color. COMMUNITY RESOURCES In this section we list entities or programs that may not fit into any of the other categories utilized in the framework. Criminal & Civil Justice Housing, Health & Human Services Educational & Economic Opportunity Race Equity Action Framework Addressing Concentrated Wealth & Power Workforce Development State/National Legislation & Policy Social Capital & Community Leadership Expand Opportunity for Youth & Adults WEALTH DISPARITY This chart outlines the persistent disparity in median wealth when compared across race/ethnicity. In 2016, the most recent data reported, shows that Median Wealth for White families was 10 times more than it was for Black and Hispanic families. Wealth disparity narrowed slightly after the 2008 recession, but it started to widen again just a few years later.

Racial/ethnic diversity started increasing in the 1970’s and, in 2020, was at its highest level: about 100 seats of the 450 seats are occupied by people of color.

Tuition increases, in turn, have a tendency to reduce diversity at these institutions as shown in this chart.

Black residents account for 23% of people booked into jail, but for only 8% of Travis County’s adult population, which indicates a high level of disproportionate representation and a disproportionality ratio of 2.8. This level of disproportionality has been relatively constant over time. under Disproportionality ratios are classified as follows: Comparable Representation (rates Moderate Disproportion (rates between 1.50-2.49), High Disproportion (rates between 2.50-3.49), and Extreme Disproportion (rates of 3.50 and over). 1.50), DAEP REMOVALS Black students are 5.9 times more likely than Whites and 1.8 times more likely than Hispanics to be removed from Austin Independent School District classrooms to Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs (DAEP). African- American students are moderately over-represented in DAEP placements. In 2013, Austin ISD changed its approach to discretionary removals, leading to a slight decline in the disproportionality ratio from 2.4 in the 2013-2014 school year to 2.2 in the most recent data. Criminal & Civil Justice Housing, Health & Human Services Educational & Economic Opportunity Race Equity Action Framework Addressing Concentrated Wealth & Power Workforce Development State/National Legislation & Policy Social Capital & Community Leadership Expand Opportunity for Youth & Adults HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION Although disparities exist by race and ethnicity, the gap has closed over the last ten years, and all racial and ethnic groups have seen improvements. Hispanic students have seen graduation rates improve the most—from 69% for the Class of 2009 to 90% for the Class of 2018. The four-year graduation rates for Black students increased from 72% for the Class of 2009 to 87% for the Class of 2018. Data Source: E3 Alliance COLLEGE SUCCESS Black and Hispanic high school graduates achieve this college success measure at lower rates than Asian or White students. For the Class of 2012, 34% of Black and 41% of Hispanic high school graduates completed college within six years. This is compared to 73% of Asian and 62% of White students. These rates have remained relatively consistent over time.
