Research panel discussion and Twitter chat this week
Vanderbilt University researcher Marybeth Shinn will present findings from the Family Options Study, an 18-month collaborative evaluation of federal homeless housing programs, to the Nashville homelessness services community and all interested parties.
The discussion will be held at the Nashville Public Library’s main branch downtown and is free and open to the public. Coffee and a light breakfast will be offered in the Community Room at 9 a.m. and the program will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the auditorium.
The Family Options Study, which is ongoing, is the first large-scale experiment conducted to assess the effectiveness of homelessness assistance programs for families. Shinn serves as co-lead investigator of the study. Results were presented at HUD headquarters in Washington, D.C., in July.
Please RSVP to reserve a seat. Space is limited.
