The Southern Institute on Children and Families is a non-profit, public policy
organization established in 1990 that improves the well-being of lower-income
families and children. We work with local, state and federal policymakers and
administrators, community leaders, advocacy organizations, foundations and
businesses to develop and implement action strategies that increase the
likelihood that lower-income families can meet the basic needs of their
children while building resources that result in greater opportunities for
brighter futures. The Southern Institute conducts local, state, regional and
national projects and initiatives consistent with our mission, with a focus on
17 southern states and the District of Columbia.
This section of the Southern Institute’s Web site is organized around the five
focus areas of our work, each of which comprises a key component of our overall
effort to improve opportunities for children and families across the South and
the nation. Please click on any of the links below to learn more about our work
