FHCCI Children’s Book – Welcome to the Neighborhood

The Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana (FHCCI) had the vision to create a children’s book that showcases and highlights diversity in neighborhoods, while being more intentional with their children and young learners, to stress the importance of inclusion for all.

In collaboration with Big Mamma’s House Books®, Welcome To The Neighborhood: Embracing Our Differences! showcases, educates, and highlights diversity, equity, and belonging in neighborhoods for youth, parents, educators, and proponents for housing equality. This story is told through the eyes of Mateo, whose parents desire to move into a neighborhood that makes them feel more welcomed. This will help educate Mateo on things to look for along the way.
