Populations with Barriers to Employment
Many people who want and need to work face major barriers to doing so, from a physical or mental disabilities to limited educational attainment to prior experience or involvement with the criminal legal system or law enforcement. MDRC designs and evaluates programs that provide support to people who face such obstacles and aim to create greater stability in people’s lives.
