ACF data and reports highlight our various programs and grants that improve the lives of America's most vulnerable children, families, communities and individuals.
ACF's Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) studies our programs and the populations they serve. Their rigorous research and evaluation projects are published regularly. These include evaluations of existing programs as well as new, innovative approaches to helping low-income children and families.
