Abt’s rigorous research, insights and technical assistance enable policymakers and practitioners to understand the scope of homelessness in America and identify what works to prevent and reduce it. Our team partners with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to produce national estimates of homelessness. With federal, state, and non-profit clients, we also examine the  effects of homelessness across races, ethnicities, ages, and abilities, including on military veterans, families, and youth. We help federal grantees, communities and nonprofits build capacity to manage prevention and assistance programs to move people from the streets into stable housing. And we partner with those same communities to design scalable, efficient systems that meet their needs and preferences.
