PRRAC Update (August 29, 2019): Reviewing the New Chetty Report; Call to Action on Disparate Impact; Lanahan Talk at PRRAC

August 28, 2019 by

In the new Poverty & Race:  Articles by Betsy Julian on the exciting new housing mobility study in Seattle; Justin Steil on disparate impact and anti-subordination theory; Alexandra Curley and Gretchen Weismann on residential preferences of voucher families in Boston; and Kelly Patterson and Robert Silverman on the first year of implementation of the Small Area FMR rule. Read the new issue here!

Disparate Impact – six weeks left to submit comments on HUD’s perverse reinterpretation of the Fair Housing Act’s disparate impact standard.  Much has already been written about the proposed rule – including this piece by PRRAC Board Chair Olati Johnson and Michelle Aronowitz, former HUD Deputy General Counsel for Civil Rights, this piece by PRRAC Board Member Brian Smedley, and this one by PRRAC Social Science Advisory Board member Greg Squires.  It is important that HUD receive comments from as many perspectives as possible before the October 16 deadline.  Several organizations (including PRRAC) have set up coalition “portals” you can use to make it easier for you to write and submit your comments:

  • #DefendCivilRights
  • Alliance for Housing Justice
  • #FightForHousingJustice

Upcoming book event at PRRAC:  We are excited to welcome Lawrence Lanahan, author of the new book The Lines Between Us, a story of two families in Baltimore set against the background of decades of segregation and the evolution of the landmark Thompson v. HUD public housing desegregation case.  The panel discussion will be held in our event space at 740 15th St. NW, at 5:30 on Thursday, September 19. Lawrence Lanahan will be joined by Cara McClellan from the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and journalist J. Brian Charles for a discussion of “The Lines Between Us: At School and At Home.” Register here for this free event, co-sponsored by the National Coalition on School Diversity.

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) is a 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 disrupt the systems that disadvantage low-income people of color. PRRAC was founded in 1989, through an initiative of major civil rights, civil liberties, and anti-poverty groups seeking to connect advocates with social scientists working at the intersection of race and poverty…Read More
