Newly renamed and established in 2021, the Huntington Beach Human Relations Committee, “inspires and promotes mutual understanding, respect, safety and the wellbeing of all in our community through education and engagement.” Through their mission, the HBHRC works closely with the Police Department to ensure mutual understanding, safety, and well-being of others are upheld in the community. By using the arts to promote human dignity, the Committee hopes to better our community.
