Founded in 1974, MDRC is committed to improving the lives of people with low incomes. We design promising new interventions, evaluate existing programs, and provide technical assistance to build better programs.
MDRC develops evidence about solutions to some of the nation’s most difficult problems. Explore our projects and variety of products, including publications, videos, podcast episodes, and resources for researchers and practitioners.
We develop and study housing assistance policies, community revitalization initiatives, and “place-based” employment programs that seek to improve the economic mobility of people who live in under-resourced neighborhoods.
