Developing housing-schools connections: PRRAC has released its latest publication on the housing-schools intersection, Coordination of Community Systems and Institutions to Promote Housing and School Integration, highlighting a range of examples of public and private cross-sector efforts to ameliorate racial and economic segregation. We also recently presented at the University of Richmond Law School on our efforts to incorporate educational data and policy into a local Assessment of Fair Housing – article coming soon. Also stay tuned for a spring conference here in DC on coordinating housing and school integration policy.
