Publications

"When Crises Converge: Hospital Visits Before and After Shelter Use Among Homeless New Yorkers" (with Eileen L. Johns, Maryanne Schretzman, Jacob Berman, Dennis P. Culhane, David C. Lee, and Kelly M. Doran). Health Affairs 38, no. 9 (2019): 1458–1467.

Finds that newly homeless adults use hospitals at high rates immediately surrounding their shelter stay, supporting the theory that health and housing crises are intrinsically connected.

"Adolescent Homelessness and Associated Features: Prevalence and Risk Across Eight States" (with J. J. Cutuli and Janette E. Herbers ). Springer Link 51 (2020): 48-58.

Estimates of youth homelessness are based on inappropriate methods and, as a result, underestimate homelessness among people 16-24. We use survey data from the YRBS and find homelessness exists at rates significantly higher than reported elsewhere.
