An Equity Profile of Orange County PolicyLink and PERE 3 Acknowledgments PolicyLink and the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE) at the University of Southern California are grateful to Orange County Grantmakers for its generous support of this project. Through our partnership, Policylink and PERE are working to highlight the potential corrosive impact of inequity on growth and the particular way in which persistent racial disparities may threaten future prosperity. Our research illustrates that equity is the path to inclusive growth and prosperity. This equity profile of Orange County is part of a series of reports specific to the six-county Southern California region.
