The PR Perspective

The PR Perspective—a collaboration between PHADA and Rutgers University— gives public housing executives and leaders a resource for establishing a strong communications and public relations (PR) program. If your agency doesn’t have a PR professional on staff, The PR Perspective will help you with strategies to gain public support for your programs and properties. Executive directors and staff members have so many various and pressing responsibilities that the practice of public relations has often been lacking in our industry. But without it, we will continue to struggle to gain the advocates needed to sustain our programs for future generations.
