The Homework Starts With Home research project tapped a unique resource at the University of Minnesota to integrate the data needed for analyses: the Minnesota Linking Information for Kids (Minn-LInK) project. Minn-LInK is a highly secure platform that enables researchers to integrate, de-identify, and analyze administrative data across multiple state and local systems, including housing, education, child welfare, and beyond. Minn-LInK proved essential in uncovering patterns and insights that otherwise would have been missed.
