REIA Database
A Racial Equity Impact Assessment (REIA) is a careful and organized examination of how a proposed bill or resolution will affect different racial and ethnic groups. We, the Council Office of Racial Equity (CORE), conduct REIAs to answer the question, how will this bill affect Black residents, Indigenous residents, and other residents of color in the District of Columbia?
To honor our Guiding Principle of Accessibility, we ensure that all of our Racial Equity Impact Assessments are public.
All of our completed REIAs can be found in our databases below.
