Examine the ingredients necessary to build cultural bridges to reach diverse families and communities for the purpose of offering culturally compatible housing counseling services. Discuss definitions of culture, values, and personal belief systems and explore major diversity variables. Cultural sensitivity and self-awareness are critical skills when providing housing counseling services to individuals whose cultures are different from ours. Housing counselors must remain objective, engage good listening skills, ask powerful questions, and utilize promising approaches to provide holistic housing counseling services.
