The Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development seeks to address the problems of
persistent and concentrated urban poverty and is dedicated to understanding how social and economic
changes affect low-income communities and their residents. Based in Cleveland, the Center views the
city as both a tool for building communities and producing change locally, and as a representative
urban center from which nationally-relevant research and policy implications can be drawn.
Founded in 1988 as the Center on Urban Poverty and Social Change, the Center changed its name
in 2006 to the Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development. The Center's commitment to
addressing the issues of urban poverty remains at the core of its work, as does a commitment to
social change. The new name emphasizes the means through which such change must take place.
