LAB
The HARC Lab seeks to inform best practices for homelessness services and systems through collaborative research studies with community organizations in Chicago and nationwide. We work to understand challenges and facilitators in service delivery inclusively by gaining perspectives of individuals with lived experience of homelessness, service providers, and administrators. In addition to research, we provide training, program evaluation, and consultation services for organizations; and we engage in grassroots affordable housing advocacy.
