It does so by providing timely, actionable, cross-cutting policy analysis and research, and by leading cross-government coordination to address urgent human services challenges. The office works closely with federal, state, local, and private sector partners on issues including economic mobility and employment, child poverty and well-being, child welfare, family strengthening and fatherhood, early childhood education, youth development, community initiatives, child support, recidivism, and homelessness.HSP advises the ASPE and other HHS leadership on human services policy matters. It leads and actively participates in interagency initiatives to align federal programming; conducts policy analysis and other research on human services and related issues; shares findings with and provides technical assistance to a diverse range of stakeholders; and coordinates development of HHS’s human services legislative proposals. HSP serves as a liaison with other agencies on broad economic matters and is the Department’s lead on poverty measurement.The Office of Human Services Policy has three divisions:The Division of Children and Youth Policy focuses on policies related to the well-being of children and youth, including early childhood education and child welfare, and leads the Children’s Interagency Coordinating Council and the Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs.The Division of Family and Community Policy covers policies to strengthen low-income families and communities and address barriers to economic mobility. The division leads the Interagency Council on Economic Mobility.The Division of Data and Technical Analysis provides data analytic capacity for policy development through data collection activities, secondary data analysis, modeling, and cost analyses. The Division also issues annual updates to the poverty guidelines and reports to Congress on indicators of welfare dependence.Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Human Services Policy: Jennifer Burnszynski" /> <link rel="canonical" href="http://aspe.hhs.gov/about/offices/hsp" /> <meta property="og:site_name" content="ASPE" /> <meta property="og:url" content="http://aspe.hhs.gov/about/offices/hsp" /> <meta property="og:title" content="Office of Human Services Policy (HSP)" /> <meta property="og:image" content="http://aspe.hhs.gov/themes/custom/aspe_uswds/assets/img/opengraph/aspe-tw-cover.png" /> <meta property="og:image" content="http://aspe.hhs.gov/themes/custom/aspe_uswds/assets/img/opengraph/aspe-tw-landscape.png" /> <meta property="og:image" content="http://aspe.hhs.gov/themes/custom/aspe_uswds/assets/img/opengraph/aspe-tw-profile.png" /> <meta property="og:image:alt" content="Better Research for Better Policy" /> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" /> <meta name="Generator" content="Drupal 10 (https://www.drupal.org)" /> <meta name="MobileOptimized" content="width" /> <meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <link rel="icon" href="/themes/custom/aspe_uswds/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" /> <title>Office of Human Services Policy (HSP) | ASPE</title> <!-- Google Tag Manager --> <script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f); })(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-PG5XZH7');</script> <!-- End Google Tag Manager --> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/sites/default/files/css/css_KtsTqrfAJElN5ZZBiMzG85vB0OHUsgpe9lWXOASvrmQ.css?delta=0&language=en&theme=aspe_uswds&include=eJx1i0sOgzAQQy-UMkeKBmJQSkKieCj09uXTTRfdWLafzTcNWXol3Mot0J9WxqYZW2mzU1b4i4iSMDrsluIyS2hr1dR94z3UTE8WSWUqqz00GZp7RWyUS7tcwprwU-lTd9fDjqnHXgsR_BjPJ2XCgqbpHw5qqHGYD-8yQlS5STdotViWDzjSV7k" /> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/sites/default/files/css/css_9m2NYQjR8JWN8KLapG4F8Fw1bWvCO-HMSPdYbUwwPzA.css?delta=1&language=en&theme=aspe_uswds&include=eJx1i0sOgzAQQy-UMkeKBmJQSkKieCj09uXTTRfdWLafzTcNWXol3Mot0J9WxqYZW2mzU1b4i4iSMDrsluIyS2hr1dR94z3UTE8WSWUqqz00GZp7RWyUS7tcwprwU-lTd9fDjqnHXgsR_BjPJ2XCgqbpHw5qqHGYD-8yQlS5STdotViWDzjSV7k" /> </head> <body class="term term-hsp vocab vocab-offices taxonomy context-about-offices-hsp"> <!-- Google Tag Manager (noscript) --> <noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-PG5XZH7" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden" title="hhsgoogletagmanager"></iframe></noscript> <!-- End Google Tag Manager (noscript) --> <a href="#main-content" class="usa-sr-only focusable"> Skip to main content </a> <div class="dialog-off-canvas-main-canvas" data-off-canvas-main-canvas> <section class="usa-banner"> <div class="usa-banner"> <div class="usa-accordion"> <header class="usa-banner__header"> <div class="usa-banner__inner"> <div class="grid-col-auto"> <img class="usa-banner__header-flag" src="/themes/custom/aspe_uswds/assets/img/us_flag_small.png" alt="U.S. flag"> </div> <div class="grid-col-fill tablet:grid-col-auto"> <p class="usa-banner__header-text">An official website of the United States government</p> <p class="usa-banner__header-action" aria-hidden="true">Here’s how you know</p> </div> <button class="usa-accordion__button usa-banner__button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="gov-banner"> <span class="usa-banner__button-text">Here's how you know</span> </button> </div> </header> <div class="usa-banner__content usa-accordion__content" id="gov-banner"> <div class="grid-row grid-gap-lg"> <div class="usa-banner__guidance tablet:grid-col-6"> <img class="usa-banner__icon usa-media-block__img" src="/themes/custom/aspe_uswds/assets/img/icon-dot-gov.svg" alt="Dot gov"> <div class="usa-media-block__body"> <p> <strong>The .gov means it’s official.</strong> <br> Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil.
