research

Sunrise is committed to strategically connecting others to an integrated response to homelessness through data-informed experiences. We have partnered with various institutions to engage in academic research regarding best practices and innovations around serving populations experiencing homelessness. There are many parts of homeless services that have never been studied in academic research or have been under-studied and we seek to leverage unique relationships with academic partners to bring the best solutions to our field of work.
