Welcome to our website

This website is dedicated to the memory of the Center's founder, Tom Joe (1935-1999).

Tom Joe, fierce promoter of better policies for the poor, the elderly, and the disabled, was the Center's director until his death.

The Center strives to help states and localities implement creative and effective strategies that strengthen disadvantaged communities and families and ensure that children grow up healthy, safe, successful in school, and ready for productive adulthood.

Funds for the Center's work come primarily through Foundation and contractual support.

Frank Farrow, Director    Judith Meltzer, Deputy Director
