Projects

CCBR typically has 15-20 ongoing projects and has completed over 450 projects since 1982. Each project is guided by our commitment to impacting social change in practical and powerful ways. We conduct research with people not on people, cultivating respect with communities at every step of the process.

CCBR conducted a research project entitled “Payday Lending: In Search of a Local Alternative”. The purpose of this study was to look at the existing practice of payday loan facilities and to explore the need of a ‘made-in-Waterloo’ solution as an alternative. This study was funded by the Wellesley Institute.
