PRRAC Update (December 16, 2021): Housing and School Connections in the New Issue of Poverty & Race; and PRRAC is Hiring!

December 16, 2021 by

The new issue of Poverty & Race, expertly guest edited by Kara Finnigan of the University of Rochester, highlights research and policy connections between housing and school integration, with over a dozen new articles on policy, theory, and youth engagement. Read the issue here.

PRRAC is hiring! See our new posting for Director of State and Local Engagement here.

Between the Lines: Watch this short trailer for the forthcoming theater piece on housing and school segregation written and performed by students in the Epic Theater Ensemble, commissioned by PRRAC and NCSD.

Last chance to support PRRAC this year: If you haven’t already, please consider making a donation to PRRAC (we promise to use it wisely) and if you are a federal employee we hope you will consider a donation to PRRAC through the Combined Federal Campaign (our # is 11710).
