The Philadelphia Economic Equity Project is based at the School of Social Policy & Practice at the University of Pennsylvania. It builds on the foundational work of the Columbia University and Robin Hood’s Poverty Tracker survey.
The original Poverty Tracker survey is a partnership between the Columbia Population Research Center (CPRC), the Columbia Center on Poverty and Social Policy, and Robin Hood. Their approach provides a dynamic view of poverty in New York City over time. PEEP extends this view into economic hardship and mobility in Philadelphia.
