On January 20-21, 2010, the Institute for Children and Poverty (ICP) hosted a national conference in downtown Philadelphia, PA. Children, Poverty, and Homelessness: from Research to Policy, from Policy to Practice was a hugely successful event, which brought together hundreds of researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and other professionals interested in the issues of family and child poverty and homelessness and how to better work toward ending this problem in communities across the country.

On ICP’s conference web page, you will find additional information about the conference and its outcomes, as well as PDF documents of many of the outstanding presentations given in Philadelphia.
