Changing the Odds: The Race for Results in Atlanta

Casey has invested in several southwest Atlanta communities for more than 10 years. This report explores how race and community of residence continue to create barriers that keep the city's kids, particularly those of color, from reaching their full potential. The report highlights three key areas that support or thwart children's healthy development: (1) the community where they grow up; (2) school experiences; and (3) family access to economic opportunities. Policy recommendations are included. [Staff members who contributed to this report include Arin Gencer, Charles Rutheiser, and Nonet Sykes.]
