William P. O'Hare

Bill O'Hare's work over the past 30 years has been defined by the use of statistical data to elevate the needs of disadvantaged populations such as children, the poor, and racial minorities on the public agenda. That work has also involved working closely with the media and policymakers. From 1993 to 2005, he directed the KIDS COUNT project at the Annie E. Casey Foundation in the United States. Since 2005, he has been a consultant to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, working on KIDS COUNT and related data-based projects. He is also a Fellow at the Carsey Institute.
