Race Place Policy Podcast

Race Place Policy Podcast

Welcome to the Race, Place, and Policy Podcast, our first podcast for PPL. Many folks might know that PPL has been building communities and building success through affordable housing and career training for 50 years now. We thought another way to build communities and build success is through ideas and dialogue. We hope this space will be a place where we can have engaging discussions, promote ideas, listen to needs, and identify hurdles that we all need to overcome. Solutions can’t come from nowhere. They need a laboratory, a workshop to develop and shape. We hope this is that workspace.
