About This Web Link
The mission of the Heirs' Property Retention Coalition (HPRC) is to stem the tide of heirs' property land loss, particularly among low-income families of color in the southeast, so that such families can retain their ancestral land and maintain it as a sustainable asset for future generations. To this end, we develop and facilitate the collaborative action of organizations that help families, particularly by supporting legal reform efforts at the state level. However, we also have a) connected such organizations and partners to legal and land planning resources inside and outside the Coalition; b) developed and centralized practice materials and research libraries; c) provided for intra-Coalition case referrals; and d) organized the gathering of empirical information about the scope of heirs' property and land loss.
