Medici Road

It is our mission to reduce poverty by creating education, housing, and public health solutions that uproot systemic racial inequalities. Our vision is to create equitable communities and drive economic development for low income residents in urban cities. Our work is focused on research, evaluation, designing new programs, and racial equity training, and developing new concepts or products that allow people to begin the road of poverty reduction themselves. We do this work within three centers of change: Education, Poverty, and Public Health, and Racial Equity.
