Vox quotes Elizabeth Bowen, associate professor in the School of Social Work, in an article about how homelessness has been increasing in the U.S. A new landmark study, the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness, helps provide clear data on how to best help and counter stereotypes about homelessness.
Bowen notes this study is an incredible feat: “It’s incredibly difficult to do representative studies of people experiencing homelessness, so the fact that this study was able to obtain a large and representative sample of adults experiencing homelessness in California is impressive.”
