Founded in 1985, Project Match engages in program development and research in a range of fields related to low-income populations, including workforce development, family stability, community revitalization, and financial services.  Project Match’s employment model for community-based organizations and its case management system for government welfare agencies have both been replicated at sites around the country. The organization’s research division studies not only Project Match’s own initiatives in Chicago, but also other interventions in the United States aimed at improving the well-being of poor families and the vitality of the communities in which they live.
