Research

Our research services can help to answer critical questions surrounding homelessness, provide data and numbers to complex social issues and most importantly- create a vehicle for gathering input from the  people most impacted by homelessness and housing insecurity. Examples of projects include, but are not limited to:

  • Designing and leading a study on unsheltered homelessness and people labeled “service-resistant” 

  • Creating outreach questionnaires, community asset maps and/or focus groups to better understand the unique needs of a particular community or neighborhood 

  • Facilitating interviews with clients in your program(s) to gather feedback and enhance program delivery

Partnership

Our partnership building services can help to streamline and coordinate efforts by bringing the right stakeholders, service providers, funders and community members to the table to address complex problems. Examples of projects include, but are not limited to:

  • Designing a multi-partner program to address a particular gap in homeless services

  • Connecting mission-compatible individuals and organizations to enhance and not duplicate current initiatives or efforts 

  • Building coalitions and/or work groups to address a particular social issue or challenge
