Environmental Justice, Health & Transportation

PRRAC works to support environmental justice advocacy, with a focus on strong national and local partnership strategies. Harmful and inequitable environmental hazard siting, enforcement disparities, and other EJ issues have often been closely connected to residential segregation and concentrated poverty, as well as racial bias and disparities in access to power structures. Our work to improve these conditions is an important complement to other strategies that serve as immediate interventions to improve health (in particular that of young children), such as voucher mobility and strong standards for where subsidized housing is sited. We are grateful to the Kresge Foundation for its support of this work.

In addition, we have a particular focus on the formulation of innovative policy solutions that bridge the silos dividing issue areas – including housing, environmental justice, health, and transportation (as well as education).
