Highlights from the National Research Center on Poverty and Economic Mobility
This Forum investigated inequitable outcomes by race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, and ability and how federal, state, and local human services policies, systems, and providers contribute to it. Participants also discussed how policy, practice, data, and research can combat systemic inequities created in and outside of human services. Inequities continue to create barriers to success and well-being for many individuals and communities in the United States. The field of human services can play a crucial role in advancing equity for these populations, but to do so must identify the ways in which it creates or perpetuates disparities.

Coronavirus & Poverty Research Centers
The Institute for Research on Poverty and our national collaborative of peer poverty research centers are especially aware of how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting the most vulnerable members of society and straining the social services system.
Families and individuals with low incomes struggle during normal times, but this unprecedented modern crisis has intensified their hardship while also creating barriers to seeking help.
Visit our new Poverty & Covid-19 page for links to resources and emerging research in response to the pandemic and our new Teach & Learn page for poverty-research distance learning materials by IRP and our peer centers.
