The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice 

The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice at Temple University is an action research center transforming higher education into a more effective, equitable and impactful sector using a powerful combination of applied scientific research, technical assistance and educational training services to colleges and universities; policy advising with state and federal governments and agencies; and strategic communications. We believe that students are humans first and that their basic needs (e.g. food, housing, childcare, digital access, transportation, mental health) are central conditions for learning.
