SUMMARY:USC Center for AI in Society Seminar Series: Equity in Data-Driven Policies
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Patrick Fowler’s research centers on homelessness prevention and the negative consequences of homelessness on youth\, families\, and communities. His recent research focuses on homelessness among youth aging out of foster care and child maltreatment prevention among families experiencing homelessness. Using linked administrative data\, Dr. Fowler designs and tests big data applications to improve the fairness and efficiency of homelessness services delivery. He employs a complex systems approach to create developmentally appropriate and culturally tailored responses to homelessness. \nDiscussion Topic:\nDr. Fowler will present work investigating group fairness in algorithmic decision-making. The team uses administrative records on homeless service delivery to demonstrate inherent tradeoffs in fairness that depend on the operationalization of equity. The findings inform data-driven policy-making in homelessness and social services broadly. \n  \nRSVP \n

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Summit: Criminal Justice
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Dr. Brittany Friedman\, this virtual summit will examine how the field of social innovation – including both processes and models of social innovation – can be used to reverse the centuries-long history of racism and economic discrimination within the criminal legal system. A number of social innovation models are currently underway to address various components of the criminal legal system; many social impact bonds target criminal justice and recidivism outcomes and processes of co-production and co-creation can illuminate more equitable and effective alternatives to the current criminal legal system. \n\n\n\n\n				\n			\n\n\n\n				\n			\n\nDr. Gary Painter \nDirector USC Sol Price Center for Social Innovation\, Homelessness Policy Research Institute(Social Innovation Framing) \n\n\n \n\n\n				\n			\n\n\n\n				\n			\n\n\n		\nRSVP

SUMMARY:HPRI Symposium: Substance Use Disorder & Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:Substance Use Disorders are prevalent among 52% of adults experiencing chronic homelessness in Los Angeles County.¹ In the broader media\, we rarely hear the clear evidence about how homelessness and substance use disorders intersect. Lack of affordable housing and substance use are named as separate “causes” for increased encampments of people experiencing homelessness\, without capturing a more nuanced understanding of how the two issues may mutually reinforce each other. This symposium will illuminate research\, lived experiences\, service provision and policy practice perspectives to grow our collective understanding for how to inform equitable and culturally responsive approaches to homelessness. \n¹LAHSA 2020 Homeless Count \nPresenters and Panelists: \nHoward Padwa\, Principal Investigator\, Integrated Substance Abuse Programs\, UCLA\nHoward Padwa is a health services and qualitative researcher at UCLA’s Integrated Substance Abuse Programs (UCLA-ISAP). He has led qualitative data collection and analyses for mixed-methods studies of mental health system transformation\, behavioral health service integration\, evidence-based practice implementation\, and the creation of a full continuum of care for substance use disorder treatment under California’s Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) Medicaid 1115 Waiver. In addition\, he has conducted historical research on drug policy in the United States and overseas\, served as project director for an initiative to integrate adolescent substance use prevention and early intervention services into healthcare and school settings nationwide\, and facilitated stakeholder engagement for several projects. Currently\, Dr. Padwa is leading several evaluations of initiatives to provide integrated services for homeless and other populations in Los Angeles\, and he is co-investigator on a PCORI-funded study examining substance use disorder treatment assessment and decision-making. \nRicky Bluthenthal\, Professor of Preventative Medicine\, Associate Dean for Social Justice\, Institute for Health Promotion & Disease Prevention\, USC\nRicky N. Bluthenthal\, Ph.D. is the Associate Dean for Social Justice and Vice Chair for Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion and a Professor in the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences and the Institute for Prevention Research in the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. He received a BA in History and Sociology from the University of California Santa Cruz and a MA and PhD in sociology from the University of California Berkeley. His research has established the effectiveness of syringe exchange programs\, tested novel interventions and strategies to reduce HIV risk and improve HIV testing among injection drug users and men who have sex with men\, documented how community conditions contribute to health disparities\, and examined health policy implementation. His current studies include an observational cohort study of how cannabis legalization impacts use patterns and health outcomes of cannabis and opioids among people who inject drugs and a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a single session intervention to reduce injection initiation risk behaviors among established people who inject drugs. Dr. Bluthenthal has authored or co-authored over 170 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals such as the American Journal of Public Health\, Social Science and Medicine\, The Lancet\, Addiction\, and Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research among others. \nReba Stevens\, Community Leader\nReba Stevens is dedicated to using her lived experience as a homeless individual for 21 years to advocate for lasting solutions to homelessness and represent the voice of lived expertise in many forums. Her relentless focus on the magnitude of mental health and substance abuse amongst people experiencing homelessness is founded in her own experience. A diagnosis of her mental health condition was the lynchpin to her successful road to recovery and journey out of homelessness. As a result\, she possesses a unique understanding of the mental health\, criminal justice\, and substance abuse treatment systems in Los Angeles County. Her goal is to ensure that mental health and substance abuse screenings and treatment are funded\, accessible and embedded in all the facets of service delivery for people experiencing homelessness as well as those who are now housed after being homeless.Reba’s activism and profound knowledge is demonstrated in numerous cross-departmental appointments to strategic and major bodies that drive policy and practice in homelessness\, mental health\, criminal justice\, and substance abuse areas.

SUMMARY:Examining the Complex Social Safety Net for Low-Income Working Families
DESCRIPTION:Join the Price Center for Social Innovation and Imagine LA for a webinar on January 19\, 2022 to discuss key findings from the recent report\, Examining the Complex Society Safety Net for Low-Income Working Families: How Benefit Resources Respond to Increases in Wages. \nThis report is a result of detailed research into all the social benefits (federal\, state and local) available to low-income families and how the benefits react to increases in wages. The study examined the total resources families have available and identified the threshold points where the safety net may actually become a barrier towards increased economic mobility. The report shows how most families receiving social benefits will experience lengthy resource plateaus\, where an increase in earned income is met with the equivalent loss of some benefit. In addition\, the ecosystem of social benefits is extremely challenging to navigate and protects mainly families with extremely low incomes by providing childcare and housing benefits. Policymakers must take immediate steps to simplify and streamline the benefits infrastructure to promote economic mobility\, create transparency and encourage greater use and awareness of benefits among the public\, and specifically improve access to housing benefits as they are proven to be the most effective in aiding families in poverty. \nThis webinar will include a research presentation on the report\, as well as commentary and a panel discussion about ways to improve access to the social safety net for low-income working families in the Los Angeles region. \nSpeakers\nWelcome Remarks\nPresenters\n \nCommentary\n \nPanelists\n\nJacqueline Chun\, Chief Program & Operations Officer\, Carl & Roberta Deutsch Foundation\nWendy Garen\, President & Chief Executive Officer\, Ralph M.

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Speaker Series: Chris Herring
DESCRIPTION:Chris Herring is a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard’s Inequality in America Initiative and Assistant Professor of Sociology at UCLA. His research focuses on homelessness\, housing\, welfare\, and criminal justice in US cities. His work has been published in the American Sociological Review\, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences\, Social Problems\, City and Community\, City\, and numerous edited volumes. Chris’ forthcoming book\, Cruel Streets\, explains how San Francisco\, a city at the vanguard of progressive urban politics\, intensified punishment towards the unhoused amidst initiatives of criminal justice reform and shelter expansion. \nDiscussion topic:\nIn the past five years\, the City of San Francisco has experienced rapid development of policy innovation in both welfare provision and criminal justice treatments of unsheltered homelessness. These innovations include: expansions of navigation center shelters and sanctioned encampments in gentrifying neighborhoods\, a new Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing\, a new collaboration between police\, sanitation\, and public health agencies through its Healthy Streets Operation Center\, a new anti-camping ban\, and reforms to warrants and citations for the unhoused. Drawing on two-years of ethnographic research spending time both residing on the streets and the city’s shelters with those experiencing homelessness\, as well as observations alongside police officers and social workers\, Chris’s presentation will offer a ground-level perspective of these policies from varying perspectives. He also draws connections between how changes in welfare assistance have impacted criminalization and vice versa. \nIn spotlighting the positive improvements and negative impacts of these policy innovations\, Chris puts forward a broader argument about how and why welfare and penal reforms addressing homelessness in progressive cities continue to coalesce in increasing punishment toward the unsheltered that undermine broader welfare provision. He will conclude by considering policy alternatives\, as well as alternative frameworks researchers and scholars might use in relating penal and welfare state programs addressing poverty. \n  \nRSVP \n  \n

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Speaker Series: Dr. Brandon Nicholson\, Executive Director of the Hidden Genius Project
DESCRIPTION:An Oakland native\, Brandon Nicholson is founding Executive Director of The Hidden Genius Project.  He has dedicated his life to promoting equity in the public realm\, particularly in the education space.  In his previous stint as a senior evaluator and consultant\, Brandon conducted research\, evaluation\, and consulted on a range of projects related to intersections of education policy and workforce and economic development.  It was there that he began to recognize the potential for technology to bolster the domestic and global economy as underrepresented populations gain more equitable access to growth sectors.  Brandon has conducted substantial research in the areas of education and youth development\, with a particular focus on issues of equity and access in K-12 education for underserved populations.  He has considerable experience investigating linkages among race\, class\, and youth development. \n \nDiscussion Topic:\nAs ensuing generations become increasingly comfortable and well versed in envisioning a life comprising multiple career pathways (including multiple starts and stops)\, over time our institutions and practices will need to catch up with this reality. Our world is evolving into one shaped by shorter-term successes\, some educational “failures\,” and compilation of more numerous skills and experiences over the entire trajectory of our lives. We know that thirty years of service and a gold watch is barely visible in the rearview mirror\, and our budding workforces will need to get even more adept at navigating this reality. In this conversation\, we will discuss what steps we might take along young people’s learning and growth continuum to create more meaningful and holistic life experiences. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Speaker Series: Dr. Karin D. Martin\, Assistant Professor\, Daniel J. Evans School of Public Policy & Governance
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 2\, 2021 at 12pm\, Karin D. Martin will be a featured speaker in the Price Center’s Social Innovation Speaker Series. Dr. Martin is an Assistant Professor at the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Policy & Governance at the University of Washington\, where she is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Sociology. She is a crime policy specialist whose areas of expertise are monetary sanctions\, racial disparities in the criminal justice system\, and decision-making in the criminal legal context. She is a recipient of the University of Washington Distinguished Teaching Award and is a 2021-2022 American Bar Foundation (ABF)/JPB Foundation Access to Justice Faculty Scholar. She is Affiliated Faculty with the West Coast Poverty Center and the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology at the University of Washington. \nDiscussion topic:\nWhat are the logics of monetary sanction (MS) use in the US and how do they influence an individual’s experience of punishment for a criminal conviction? To address these questions\, we draw on a systematic analysis of statutes\, interview data with debtors (n=510) and court professionals (n=435)\, as well as 1600 hours of ethnographic observation across eight states. We combine these data with publicly available administrative data to identify various logics in monetary sanction use. We find that two ideal types exemplify the logics of monetary sanctions. In “Machine Logic\,” the emphasis is on maximizing the extraction of money from those involved in the criminal legal system. In “Journey Logic\,” the focus is on holding defendants accountable as they navigate toward an outcome ostensibly desirable to both the individual and the court. We derive these logics from an assessment of the penal context and manifestation of discretion in each state. We then examine how the logics relate to the legal and experiential consequences for people assessed MS\, finding that each ideal type can entail an expansive reach of the criminal legal system into people’s lives. \nTake away lunch will be provided!\n  \n\n\nFill out my Wufoo form!

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Speaker Series: Papia Debroy and Kate Naranjo\, Opportunity@Work
DESCRIPTION:  \nOn Thursday\, October 21st\, Papia Debroy\, Senior Vice President of Insights at Opportunity@Work\, and Kate Naranjo\, Director of Opportunity@Work’s STARs Policy Project\, will discuss why the American Dream is not being realized by millions of families\, particularly families with people of color. An analysis of workers and their jobs shows some clues on how we might change this. \n  \nThe majority of our workforce are skilled through alternative routes (STARs) instead of a bachelor’s degree. STARs include workers across all races and ethnicities\, ages\, and geographies in the U.S. and they have experienced an opportunity gap in the past generation that has exacerbated inequality precipitously between them and workers with a bachelor’s degree. Yet\, analysis shows many STARs have skills for higher wage occupations. This session will dive into a deeper understanding of this part of our workforce – who STARs are\, the skills they hold as well as the employers who hire them and the pathways we could create to support their economic mobility. How might we rethink who is talented in the United States\, and build systems that leverage their skills to create a more equitable future. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:The Effects of Project Labor Agreements on the Production of Affordable Housing: Evidence from Proposition HHH
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, September 15th\, the USC Price Center for Social Innovation\, the Homelessness Policy Research Institute\, the Lusk Center for Real Estate\, and DUPSA & Urban Growth Seminar Series will host a Virtual Research Seminar presenting results from the recent RAND Report “The Effects of Project Labor Agreements on the Production of Affordable Housing: Evidence from Proposition HHH.” \nProposition HHH is a $1.2 billion funding initiative intended to incentivize the production of 10\,000 units of housing aimed at addressing chronic homelessness in Los Angeles. More than a year after the passage of this ballot measure\, a project labor agreement (PLA) was attached to the initiative by the Los Angeles City Council requiring that any funded projects of 65 or more housing units steer virtually all hiring through union halls\, utilize specific ratios of workers by experience level\, follow a specified set of formal grievance and arbitration procedures\, and also outlining voluntary goals for the associated unions around the hiring of local and disadvantaged workers. \nThis new report presents evidence that the presence of PLA and its unusual threshold significantly affected both the size of projects built—by inducing developers to propose smaller projects to avoid the agreement—and the construction costs of larger projects that were covered. The report’s author\, Jason Ward\, will present these findings and will discuss some of the report’s implications for future housing policies. Dr. Ward is an associate economist at RAND and the associate director of RAND’s Center for Housing and Homelessness in Los Angeles. \nA link to the full report can be found here. \nRSVP\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Homelessness Policy Research Institute\, the DUPSA & Urban Growth Seminar Series\, and the Lusk Center for Real Estate

SUMMARY:Tax Equality for Immigrants and Child Poverty
DESCRIPTION:Join the Price Center\, the Center for Migration Studies of New York\, and NETWORK\, the national Catholic social justice lobby\, for a webinar and discussion of the forthcoming Journal on Migration and Human Security report\, “Tax Equality for Immigrants: The Indispensable Ingredient for Remedying Child Poverty in the United States.” \nThe report examines the unequal treatment of non-citizens in the US tax system\, and the implications for plans to combat child poverty now under debate in Congress. Immigrants\, chiefly the unauthorized\, who do not qualify for a Social Security Number are required to pay taxes with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)\, but their access to tax credits is limited by eligibility exclusions and bureaucratic barriers. Historic expansions of the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit are critical to the ambitious initiative to halve child poverty that the Biden administration and Congressional Democrats are pursuing through budget reconciliation. The report shows that the initiatives will leave behind about one of every five children in poverty\, the great majority of them US citizens\, if the unequal treatment of ITIN filers is not remedied. Yet in a positive development\, seven states recently have extended state EITC programs to ITIN filers\, and others are debating similar measures. The paper proposes a full agenda of actions by government and civil society actors to provide tax equality to immigrants. \nThe report’s authors\, Roberto Suro and Hannah Findling\, will share key findings and policy recommendations. The webinar will also include respondents from government and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). \nThis free\, virtual event is open to students\, researchers\, and practitioners of all disciplines. Advance registration is required. \nRead the Report   Register Today \n

SUMMARY:From Here to Equality: A Conversation on Reparations for Black Americans
DESCRIPTION:Join the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy and LaVonna B. Lewis\, Associate Dean of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion for a conversation with William Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen\, authors of the award-winning book\, From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century. \nToday’s black-white wealth gap originated with the unfulfilled promise of 40 acres in 1865. The payment of this debt in the 21st century is feasible—and at least 156 years overdue. In their book\, William Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen advance a general definition of reparations as a program of acknowledgment\, redress\, and closure. Acknowledgment constitutes the culpable party’s admission of responsibility for the atrocity; admission should include recognition of the damages inflicted upon the enslaved and their descendants and the advantages gained by the culpable party. Redress constitutes the acts of restitution; the steps taken to “heal the wound.” In this context\, it means erasure of the black-white wealth gap. Closure constitutes an agreement by both the victims and the perpetrators that the account is settled. \nFrom Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century is the recipient of the inaugural 2021 Book Prize from the Association of African American Life and History and the 2020 Ragan Old North State Award for Non-fiction from the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association.
