Sending the Right Message: How Service Providers Can Use Family-Centered Communication to Support Engagement
Our Work
Millions of Americans are impacted every day by government social services. We support innovative government leaders who are testing ways to redesign those service systems to better support their communities.
We help governments work upstream to reduce major drivers of entries to the child protection system, improve equitable access to resources and services, and strengthen supports that keep families together.
We work with state and local governments, Continuums of Care, and social service providers to reduce homelessness. Our work focuses on preventing people from becoming homeless, rehousing those who do, training staff on key skills for homelessness response, and helping communities build more housing in order to increase affordability.
