Mission: 

The Urban Institute is a nonprofit research organization that provides data and evidence to help advance upward mobility and equity. We are a trusted source for changemakers who seek to strengthen decisionmaking, create inclusive economic growth, and improve the well-being of families and communities. For more than 50 years, Urban has delivered facts that inspire solutions—and this remains our charge today.

Programs: 

When it comes to advancing the well-being of people and places across the United States, the Urban Institute holds a unique advantage: our capacity to produce new knowledge about social and economic issues and to rigorously mine the evidence for insight.

But facts alone don't change lives. That’s why our experts translate the facts for diverse audiences, apply them to real-world problems to find solutions, and share them in accessible ways with policymakers at every level, as well as with business and philanthropic leaders, advocates, practitioners, and the people and communities most directly affected. Our work improves their critical decisions and therefore has a direct impact on families and communities around the country.

Urban offers insight and a wide range of evidence-informed products, services, and partnerships.

Because living below the poverty line impacts every aspect of a person’s life, IMPACCT Brooklyn provides social services along with housing for formerly homeless people, giving them the break they need to regroup and get back on track with their lives.

Lead poisoning is a real danger to many lower-income families living in older buildings. IMPACCT Brooklyn is proactive in remedying lead exposure through lead testing, training for maintenance personnel, and financial incentives for landlords.

By helping our Dreamers gain access to college, we are putting them on a different academic and life trajectory, while having a broader impact on the students' families and the generations that follow.

IHDF works with Dreamers after school, on the weekends, and over the summer for over ten years, developing long-term relationships with Dreamers and their families. We provide academic and socio-emotional support to Dreamers, equipping them with the confidence and life skills needed to pursue their most ambitious dreams.
