About Us

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) is a non-profit civil rights law and policy organization based in Washington, D.C. 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 was founded in 1989 by major national civil rights and poverty law organizations. PRRAC is unique in its focus 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 works closely with other national civil rights and housing policy groups, and is a member of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the National Low Income Housing Coalition. PRRAC also helps to staff the National Coalition on School Diversity (www.school-diversity.org).
