A civil rights law and policy organization, PRRAC's mission is to promote research-based advocacy strategies to address structural inequality and change the systems that disadvantage low income people of color. Our mission is to promote research-based advocacy strategies to address structural inequality and change the systems that disadvantage low income people of color. PRRAC is unique in its foc
us on policies that address structural segregation directly. Our advocacy work focuses primarily on housing and education policy, but also touches on land use, and the interconnections between housing policy and education, health, and transportation. These policy areas too often reflect inequities driven by structural segregation. PRRAC was founded in 1989, through an initiative of major civil rights, civil liberties, and antipoverty groups seeking to connect advocates with social scientists working at the intersection of race and poverty. PRRAC's work is informed by an extensive national network of researchers, organizers, attorneys, educators, and public health and housing professionals.
