We're a non-profit that works at the intersection of human-centered design and public policy.

关于我们

The Public Policy Lab's mission is to design services that help Americans build better lives. We partner with government agencies – and the communities they serve – to create public services that are more effective, more respectful, and simple to use. Public programs are how our society invests in citizens. Too often, however, public services don’t feel very friendly, or even very useful. Here at the Public Policy Lab, we think the solution lies with the people themselves: when services are thoughtfully designed to serve the needs of their users, to be engaging and easy to use, then they’re more satisfying for citizens, as well as more effective and cost-efficient for government. We engage in research at the intersection of policy and user-centered design. We examine how policy goals and public services can be assessed through the experience of their users. We identify best practices from the design professions that can bring value to the public sector. And then we directly engage with government leaders and community members in projects to improve service delivery.

    After four months, the Prevention Pathways pilot has officially wrapped! A key goal of this project is to reduce unnecessary child maltreatment reports in NYC and keep children in their homes; after interviews with pilot participants, we were happy to learn that, using the new referral process, staff felt more empowered to offer families supportive services when they saw a family in need of support and a report to the Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment (SCR) was not legally required. To read more about our pilot learnings, check out the Prevention Pathways case study on our website. https://lnkd.in/ecmMSZy3

    Happy October! As summer comes to a close, we've been reflecting on all the living and learning we've done at work and beyond. Check out our most recent PPL Post newsletter to see what PPLers have been doing, thinking, and making outside of the office--including biking through the islands of Japan, coaching Bed-Stuy baseballers, building modern-inspired cat houses, and more! https://lnkd.in/eU_b_7wm

    Our collaborative project with Public Policy Labs and the CUNY Institute for State & Local Governance (ISLG) has sparked new ideas around enhancing pathways for students transitioning back into education. On Wednesday, the teams from SUNY HEP, Public Policy Labs, and CUNY ISLG met to review our preliminary research findings. We are excited to explore how this work can inform SUNY’s expanding re-entry and pre-release support initiatives. A special thank you to Public Policy Labs, CUNY ISLG, the John Jay College Institute for Justice and Opportunity, CUNY BMCC, and NYC Opportunity for their collaboration and for making this project possible!
