The Mission of EOS (Economic Opportunity Studies)
Our mission is to provide support for Community Action Agencies, community-based organizations, and the private and/or government organizations that are their partners in expanding economic opportunity for all. EOS supports their initiatives that change communities and improve the well-being of low- and moderate-income families and individuals; we offer research and analysis that helps them identify, develop and manage new opportunities to mobilize and focus resources.
We also support our partners’ strategies to measure and build upon the results of their work.
