Social Policy

The Social Policy Program provides objective and evidence-based assessments of the potential for reforming the way social programs are designed and delivered.

Areas of examination include homelessness and policy issues related to poverty alleviation. Emphasis is placed on the dissemination of policy recommendations so that government and community-based providers of social programming are given the tools they need to enact change and improve policy and practice outcomes.
