Working to heal distressed communities.

Community-building is hard work. We start with policies that give people freedom to flourish.

Housing

Housing is a basic human necessity, but the federal government is ill-equipped to regulate it. We think that local governments should write housing policies that fit their own communities and that individuals should have optimal freedom to decide where and how they live.

  • Homelessness in America: What should we do?

    Homeless policy must be two-pronged. One, we need local law enforcement regimes that discourage rather than encourage homelessness. Two, we need social-welfare policies that get to the core of the problem.

  • The Left-Wing War on America's Suburbs

    It was the right move by the Trump administration to eliminate this inappropriate assault on the most basic American freedom to choose where and how one wants to live.

Education

Many children in urban communities are tied to failing school systems that provide little incentive for reform. School choice gives children the best opportunity to flourish and reduces the burden on taxpayers and low-income families alike.

  • Education Choice for All Students

    This report finds that K-12 education in the United States is far from what it should or could be. As a nation we are underperforming by international standards.

Healthcare

We believe it is possible to insist on healthcare for all and a free healthcare market. A system of private insurance backstopped by public insurance maintains the quality and accessibility of healthcare while providing a safety net for the most vulnerable.

Economics

Over the last sixty years, progressive economic policies have done significant damage to poor urban communities. It’s time to find a better way. We embrace the principles of free enterprise and personal responsibility in order to lift up the most vulnerable in our society.

  • The Costs of Biden's Big Government

    It is one of the unfortunate ironies coming out of the Biden administration that, with all the obsession about so-called equity, policies they are putting forth will only hurt the very low-income Americans they pretend to want to help.

  • Inequality: Are the poor poor because the rich are rich?

    Public policy should not be focused on inequality. Public policy should be focused on assuring conditions that allow every citizen to maximize their individual potential and ability to participate to the greatest extent possible in the economic growth and opportunity that is being created.

Race & Culture

The current fixation on race poisons our culture, foments division, and fails to offer real policy solutions to address the needs of our most distressed communities. We reject the language of racial division and work to reinforce a common culture united by our country’s founding principles of faith and freedom as the best hope for all Americans.

  • Police & Communities

    In light of the debate over police reform in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) released a report on a path forward on the bipartisan objectives of protecting people and helping communities feel secure. CURE’s new report, “Police and Communities: Bridging the Divide,” provides public officials and community leaders a roadmap for fixing problems in police departments as the nation remains divided over issues related to race and policing.

Ep.67
Thanksgiving Special: For the Least of These

Since the great war on poverty began in the 1960s, the poverty rate for blacks has not changed. Yet, the same politicians who claim they can break the cycle of poverty keep pushing the same failed policies. That's why in this episode of Cure America with Star Parker, that we first aired last November, I lead a panel of Christians who work in public policy who believe we should take a Biblical point-of-view to finally break the cycle of poverty. It's the one method that I know, first-hand, actually works.
