OPRE and our research partners are working hard to capture information about the pandemic-related experiences of ACF programs and the families they serve.
Three overarching questions frame our pandemic-related learning:
-
How does the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery efforts affect ACF programs and service delivery?
-
How do current and potential recipients of ACF services experience the COVID-19 pandemic?
-
How do OPRE technical assistance efforts contribute to evidence building and program improvement during the COVID-19 pandemic?
In the last year, over 60 OPRE projects planned or began collecting and analyzing information relevant to our learning questions. Explore relevant research and resources from OPRE published to date:
