HOUSTON – November 14, 2019 – The Kresge Foundation has awarded Project Row Houses (PRH) a $400,000 grant as part of a new Creative Placemaking initiative, Building and Supporting Equitable Development (BASED), which seeks to advance community development through arts and culture.
This $8 million effort is led by Kresge’s Arts & Culture Program as part of its ongoing work to position culture and creativity as drivers of more just communities.
The primary goal of BASED is to develop a platform for continued learning of both leading practitioners and Kresge staff around emerging field priorities, such as strengthening racial equity and inclusion best practices within the community development sector.
