Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development, Case Western Reserve University

The Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development (the Poverty Center) works to inform public policy and program planning through data and analysis to address urban poverty, its causes, and its impact on communities and their residents.

Since our founding in 1988, our mission has broadened to understand and address poverty by delving into the human, social, and economic implications of poverty as experienced at the levels of the family and community.
