The Child Poverty Action Lab innovates and scales effective strategies to improve public benefits delivery, infant and maternal health and public safety while increasing affordable, safe housing and championing legal reform, ensuring children have an opportunity to be successful.
At CPAL, we believe better data leads to better decisions and better decisions lead to better outcomes. Our efforts are rooted in data that connects key experiences in childhood to economics in adulthood.
At CPAL, we innovate to solve complex problems, trying new strategies and techniques to make our city agencies and the public dollars that support them more effective in fighting child poverty. To do this, we need unrestricted support that can be quickly deployed to fill gaps, solve problems and align resources that support children and provide economic mobility. Your gift to CPAL will support initiatives that enable children to have a better life, whether it is by creating safer neighborhoods, connecting families with public benefits or ensuring a child doesn't lose her home due to an unlawful eviction. We will put your dollars to work against the greatest need at the time in our fight to end child poverty in Dallas.
The Child Poverty Action Lab’s vision is to dramatically reduce childhood poverty, ensuring every child has a life filled with opportunity. Our mission is to strengthen systems in five key areas, reducing childhood poverty in Dallas by 50% by 2040.
