The Policy Equity Institute

Inequity is a leading problem of our time.
Public policy is a solution. 

Community to Community (C2C) uses data and analysis to design, implement, and evaluate  public policies that push the needle forward on complex problems found in urban areas. We are scholars, researchers, policymakers, students, and community organizers working together to utilize a community-engaged research approach that fosters long term mutually beneficial partnerships.
