Our aim is to produce rigorous, relevant, and impactful research. We leverage the latest data and methodological tools to provide a comprehensive picture of poverty at the national and state level, and in our hometown of New York City. We use this information to analyze the impacts of tax and safety net policies and identify who is likely to gain or lose from specific policy changes. Our timely and accessible results help policymakers, grassroots networks, advocates, media, and the public understand the real impacts of policy decisions on the economic opportunity and security of individuals, families, and communities.
