PDD Housing Initiative
Helping Doctorate Students Navigate Their Journey to Success
About The PDD Housing Initiative
Our Mission
The Professional Doctorate Degree (PDD) Housing Initiative provides essential housing support for students of color pursuing professional doctorate degrees, allowing them to concentrate on their education and future careers without the burden of housing insecurity.
Despite their academic excellence and potential for significant societal impact, many of these students encounter substantial financial and housing barriers that jeopardize their ability to thrive in their programs. Rising rent costs, tuition burdens, and a lack of generational wealth disproportionately affect under-represented students, leading to a crisis of stability during some of the most demanding years of their education.
The PDD Housing Initiative offers direct housing assistance of up to $1500 per month per student for one year, along with wraparound support services. Through grant sponsorships and community engagement, we fund sustainable housing for these future leaders, enabling them to focus fully on their studies and careers. Additionally, we create mentorship and scholarship programs that build bridges between professionals and students of color, ensuring long-term impact and uplift across communities.
By investing in the housing stability of the students, the PDD Housing Initiative is also investing in a more equitable, diverse, and empowered future for healthcare, legal services, and public leadership.
