Research
The
Research Department will use research and writing to analyze the causes of
poverty and recommend innovative ways to effectively address it.
The overarching goal of the

faced and overcome by advocates on behalf of their clients living in poverty. Further, the department seeks to
produce blueprints for addressing poverty that have real life potential to be
successfully implemented.
