Скачать или смотреть Introduction - Dr. John Ecker: How do we know what we know about homelessness?

In this video Dr. John Ecker discusses the trajectory of homelessness research, from an early focus on investigating the causes and consequences, to a modern day focus on applied research into identifying solutions and empowering people with lived experience. He notes that there are many different types of research, and that they are often published in peer-reviewed journal articles which allows for confidence in what is being reported. Dr. Ecker concludes by acknowledging the important work of grassroots advocacy organizations, particularly those led by individuals with lived experience, in providing information and resources to the general public and to policy makers.
