Policies for Action (P4A) recently announced its newest call for proposals (CFP). The focus of this CFP is research about policies that can contribute to the full social, economic, and civic inclusion of immigrant families in American society.
P4A seeks to understand how immigrants and their families, especially children, can be valued and included most fully in all dimensions of life in the United States and how policies can drive systemic change that broadens public acceptance and support of all families.
Approximately $1.5 million in funding is available for this opportunity.
P4A Researchers at Portland State University evaluated one of the nation’s first housing preference policies that prioritized displaced affordable rental and home ownership applicants in Portland, Oregon. They found that the N/NE Preference Policy contributes to community well-being, but the lived experience within affordable housing developments can significantly diminish well-being. A holistic community development strategy that attends to neighborhood safety, equity, and affordability is necessary to meet the broader goals of advancing racial reparation and equity in N/NE Portland.

The Advancing Tribal Sovereignty and Community Health Project investigates whether California laws like S.B. 18 and A.B. 52 effectively protect tribal cultural resources in development decisions. Preliminary evidence suggests challenges in acknowledging and respecting Indigenous knowledge in the consultation processes. This project aims to develop recommendations for improving law implementation and respect for Indigenous knowledge, with a final report expected by April 2024.
