News — In the United States, homelessness is a persistent challenge intertwined with issues like mental health and addiction. Policy debates often struggle to make meaningful progress, burdened by stigma, prejudice, and politics. However, Dr. Deborah Padgett, a professor at NYU鈥檚 Silver School of Social Work, is using data-driven research to explore practical solutions.

Through groundbreaking studies, such as randomized clinical trials, Housing First has demonstrated remarkable success rates, with up to 80-90% of participants remaining housed after a year. These programs not only restore dignity but are also cost-effective, as they reduce expenses related to emergency services and shelters.
