Self-Sufficiency Research Clearinghouse

2009-2020

The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation awarded a grant to ICF International to fund the launch and maintenance of the Self-Sufficiency Research Clearinghouse (SSRC) as a strategic part of OPRE's goal — to build and disseminate knowledge about effective approaches to helping low-income children and families. The SSRC was a virtual portal of research on low-income families and vulnerable populations. It influenced policy and practice in such areas as employment, education and training, and family self-sufficiency by improving access to field-tested, evidence-informed, and evidence-based program and policy strategies and by fostering professional connectivity among its targeted audiences. The SSRC’s Web-based featured include:

  • Online Library,
  • Original Resources,
  • Social Media Presence, and
  • Webinar Series.
