Time: 8 October, 2018 at 12:30 - 14:30
Place: CERGE -EI, Politických vězňů 7, Prague 1
The keynote speech will give a broad overview of homelessness in the US, and how Dr. Culhane´s longitudinal research into the use of homelessness services came to segment the population and inform the program and policy interventions to match those segments. The veteran homelessness initiative will be used as an example of how the interventions have worked, and ways to transfer these lessons to the European context will be used.
