The HARC Lab at DePaul University, directed by Dr. Molly Brown, aims to address issues related to homelessness services and systems through collaborative research projects with community organizations in Chicago and nationwide. We seek to understand challenges and facilitators in homelessness service delivery inclusively, by gaining perspectives of individuals with lived experience, service providers, and administrators. In addition to research, we provide program evaluation and consultation services for organizations, and we engage in grassroots affordable housing advocacy.
