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 study programs that aim to improve the economic outcomes of people who are involved in public systems, including food and cash assistance, child support, and child welfare. We also study strategies to support parents and build healthier family relationships.
