Georgia State University Establishes Center on Health and Homelessness
The Georgia State University School of Public Health has established a Center on Health and Homelessness that will conduct community-based research, provide learning opportunities for students and collaborate with stakeholders in Atlanta and beyond to develop and evaluate evidence-based solutions that address homelessness and its related health issues.
The center, which is funded by a lead gift from the Henson family, will leverage the expertise of faculty within the School of Public Health and across the university in fields such as evidence-based interventions, trauma, substance use, water, sanitation and hygiene, and implementation science.
“Homelessness is one of the defining public health challenges of our time, and it is incumbent upon us to work with community partners to seek solutions that can make a difference here in Atlanta and that can be scaled across the nation,” said School of Public Health Dean Rodney Lyn.
