Jane Addams Center for Social Policy and Research
The center promotes and facilitates university-community partnerships in advancing social welfare policies, programs and services. As an operating unit of the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the center engages faculty in public service and research activities directed toward meeting the needs of urban communities, especially poor families and children.
The center conducts research and evaluation studies, analyzes public policies, disseminates research findings, holds forums on important policy issues, and tests new program models and service delivery strategies. Major center initiatives focus on social work, families and the criminal justice system; child welfare system development; and community based social services. The center maintains an extensive resource collection including research studies and program literature, public policies, organizational development, and original publications and training materials in each of these areas.
