Impact in Place: A Progress Report on the Department of Education’s Place-Based Strategy

The Department of Education's report, “Impact in Place: A Progress Report on the Department of Education’s Place-Based Strategy,”  illustrates the Department’s recent adoption of a “place-based” approach, an approach that helps the government better support communities’ responses to challenges by developing solutions that tackle multiple problems. The report, which lays out six key elements for the development of a place-based strategy and examples of implementation, shows that this place-based approach better targets the specific needs of individuals and populations and also improves the impact of investments.
