Research Accelerator
With leadership from the UCLA California Policy Lab, HPRI is developing a new Research Accelerator that will provide HPRI researchers with access to a secured, shared platform that houses data from the Homeless Management Information System. This will allow researchers to quickly access accurate, cleaned data to inform more timely and policy-relevant research.
