Public policy partnerships Chapin Hall actively partners with government agencies and public sector organizations across states to analyze and improve child and family services, presenting opportunities to offer policy research, program evaluation, data analytics, and implementation support to client agencies seeking evidence-based improvements.

Data collaboration With a Track record in leveraging administrative data and initiatives like Map2Impact, there is potential to offer data linkage, analytics, and visualization services to optimize prevention targeting and outcomes for state welfare and child services programs.

Expansion readiness Recent and ongoing partnerships (Michigan AG, foster care alliances, state-level initiatives) indicate Chapin Hall is expanding its influence; a sales approach focusing on scalable research products, stakeholder facilitation, and multi-state contract vehicles could align with their growth trajectory.

Funding-driven demand Significant grant activity and publicly funded projects (including multi-year grants and national center research funding) create a receptivity to grant-ready research methodologies, evaluation frameworks, and cost-efficient data-driven policy recommendations that clients can adopt post-funding.

Social impact focus Special attention to at-risk populations and youth homelessness aligns with opportunities to propose targeted interventions, cash-transfer program design and evaluation, and program performance analytics that help funders and agencies measure social outcomes and return on investment.
