Applied research, program evaluation and strategic advisory across homelessness, migration, women’s rights, disaster recovery, racial equality and public accountability.
Applied research and program evaluation on homelessness, housing insecurity and the public systems that shape the lives of people experiencing homelessness. Each engagement connects policy design with implementation and lived outcomes.
Policy analysis and strategic recommendations support public agencies and community partners working to strengthen prevention, services and accountability.
Research and policy analysis on migration, displacement and access to social rights, including work on the experiences of Venezuelan migrants in Brazil.
The work connects evidence on people's circumstances with the policies and institutions responsible for protection, services and integration.
Evaluation and analysis of public responses to gender-based violence, violence against women and barriers to protection and access to justice.
Technical assessments and policy recommendations help legal teams and public institutions better understand risk, service needs and institutional response.
Policy research on responses to health and environmental emergencies, recovery systems and the coordination required to protect people facing heightened risk.
Work examines how agencies coordinate, how services reach affected communities and how recovery policies can be evaluated and improved.
Institutional and policy assessment focused on civil rights, racial equity, oversight and accountability in public systems.
Evidence-based recommendations help institutions identify gaps, strengthen governance and make decision-making more transparent and responsive.
Independent socioeconomic evaluations, expert reports and technical analyses for judicial cases, legal teams and institutional decision-makers.
Across more than 300 judicial and institutional cases, this work has supported case strategy and public decisions; training and workshops have equipped more than 500 public officials and practitioners.
Every engagement combines research and evaluation with strategic advisory, producing analysis institutions can act on and the capacity to sustain change.
Legislation, administrative data, budgets and records reveal how a response is designed, not how it operates. We trace the full path from policy commitment to lived experience.
We focus on the spaces between institutions, where fragmentation occurs, accountability is diffuse, and coordination gaps produce the worst outcomes.
The goal is evidence and strategy capable of entering oversight, policy reform and institutional learning: changes that outlast any single engagement.
