Committed People Making a Difference
— Dr. Ellen Bassuk, Founder of the Center for Social Innovation (C4)
Founded in 2006, C4 is a mission-driven, woman-owned small business with a deep commitment to social justice and equality for all. We work on housing and homelessness, and recovery from mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and trauma.
C4 identifies and disseminates best practices, and supports providers, agencies, and systems to implement what works. We draw on strategies from every sector—public, private, non-profit, business, technology, academia—to improve services for vulnerable people.
Our skilled staff has backgrounds in clinical care, public policy, education, research, design, and technology. More than one-third of our staff is in recovery from homelessness, trauma, and mental health and substance use disorders. Many more are family members and allies of people in recovery.
We collaborate with our partners and funders to address society’s most complex problems. We strive to ensure that our work can be readily applied and makes a difference.
