Donna Biederman, associate professor, along with research colleagues Emily Carmody from the North Carolina Coalition to End Homelessness and Mina Silberberg from Duke University School of Medicine, recently hosted an all-day research symposium.

The symposium highlighted the team’s research on tenancy support services in North Carolina and was attended by more than 25 stakeholders representing various departments within the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Louisiana State Department of Health Office on Aging and Adult Services, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, UNC Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health, Homeward Bound, as well as other organizations providing and / or working to advance tenancy support services for homeless individuals and those transitioning from institutional settings.

Biederman, Carmody and Silberberg are part of the inaugural cohort of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Interdisciplinary Research Leaders program that funded the research.
