Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

SOCIAL SCIENCES - RESEARCH AND PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS: FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS, THE HEALTH POLICY CENTER HAS HELPED LAWMAKERS UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF THE COUNTRY'S HEALTH CARE PROBLEMS AND COSTS, EVALUATED HOW PUBLIC POLICIES AFFECT LIVES AND COMMUNITIES, AND PROVIDED INSIGHTS ABOUT PAYMENT AND SERVICE DELIVERY REFORMS. WE UNDERSTAND THE MYRIAD FACTORS THAT CAN INFLUENCE A PERSON'S HEALTH, AND OUR RESEARCH TOOLS ALLOW US TO TRACK AND PREDICT TRENDS AND OUTCOMES RIGOROUSLY AND ACCURATELY. IN OUR WORK ANALYZING EMPLOYER-BASED COVERAGE, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID, THE HEALTH CARE SAFETY NET, AND STATE AND LOCAL INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE POPULATION HEALTH, WE ARE PROVIDING THE ANSWERS DECISIONMAKERS NEED TO ADDRESS HEALTH PROBLEMS IN AMERICA.


SOCIAL SCIENCES - RESEARCH AND PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS AT THE CENTER ON LABOR, HUMAN SERVICES, AND POPULATION, WE STUDY HOW FAMILY, YOUTH, AND INDIVIDUAL WELL-BEING IS SHAPED BY ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS, AND HOW POLICIES AND PROGRAMS CAN IMPROVE ECONOMIC SECURITY, WORK, AND CHILD WELFARE AND DEVELOPMENT. UNDERSTANDING HOW FAMILIES ARE FARING IN THE FACE OF ECONOMIC PRESSURES, DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE, AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL CHALLENGES IS ESSENTIAL FOR POLICYMAKERS AND PRACTITIONERS WHO OVERSEE SOCIAL SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. OUR RESEARCH EXPLORES THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE CHANGES FOR PEOPLE AND POLICIES AND CONTRIBUTES TO THE EVOLVING CONVERSATION ABOUT GROWING INEQUITIES AND THE PERSISTENCE OF STRUCTURAL RACISM.


SOCIAL SCIENCES - RESEARCH AND PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS: THE METROPOLITAN HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES POLICY CENTER UNDERSTANDS HOW HOUSING AND PLACE MATTERS IN PEOPLE'S LIVES. WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PLACE - FROM CITIES AND SUBURBS TO TRIBAL LANDS - WE INVESTIGATE THE FACTORS THAT SHAPE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES. WE EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL POLICIES THAT GOVERN URBAN HOUSING AND THE PROGRAMS THAT USE HOUSING AS A PLATFORM FOR CHANGE. AMONG OTHER ACTIVITIES, WE WORK ON THE GROUND IN CITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS, PROVIDE RESIDENTS WITH NEIGHBORHOOD INDICATORS, TEST PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO HELP HOUSEHOLDS AND DISTRESSED NEIGHBORHOODS BUILD WEALTH, AND BUILD MODELS THAT HELP COMMUNITIES IMAGINE AND PREPARE FOR CHANGE.
