Helping us address access to opportunity.  What is opportunity? Access to jobs and good schools? To clean and safe neighborhoods? To social services, basic necessities and amenities?  How are opportunities distributed across the region? Can all residents, especially those who live in racially concentrated areas of poverty (RCAPs), access these opportunities equally regardless of their race and income?  How can we structure the region’s public investments to make sure all residents can access opportunities?
