SUMMARY:HPRI Symposium: High Cost Housing Areas on the West Coast
DESCRIPTION:Housing costs have risen nationally every single year for a decade\, with the trend finally breaking in September of 2022 (Gopal). Nowhere was this painful trend more evident than along the West Coast where housing markets in Los Angeles\, San Diego\, San Francisco/Bay Area\, and Seattle frequently make the top 5 in terms of high prices for housing (Ziraldo). We know that most of the West Coast has failed to build adequate new\, affordable housing while demand to work and live in urban areas has reached a fever pitch across the globe (Levin). Even when Los Angeles passed housing bonds to address its affordable housing gap\, the difficulties in permitting processes\, pushback from communities of property owners\, and high construction costs have prevented those large local investments from noticeably reducing its housing shortage (Klein). In light of these trends\, what strategies have different localities across the Pacific coast employed? What successes have been achieved? What lessons have been learned? What are the most actionable steps we can take to increase housing stability and decrease homelessness? Do any of these solutions have implications for gentrification/displacement? \n  \nPresenters and Panelists: \n\nRachel Fyall\, Associate Professor\, University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Policy and Governance; Faculty Co-lead\, Urban@UW’s Homelessness Research Initiative\nRachel Fyall (Ph.D.\, Public Affairs\, Indiana University\, 2014) is an Associate Professor at the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington.

She has used her experience to promote approaches that will yield the greatest impact for anyone in a housing crisis.\nShe possesses a unique understanding of the mental health\, criminal justice\, and substance abuse treatment systems in Los Angeles County because of incidents she had with each one. A mental health diagnosis and health resources were the lynchpins to her successful road to recovery and journey out of homelessness. These life changing markers fuel her passion to ensure that mental health and substance abuse screenings and treatment are funded; and accessible and embedded in all facets of service delivery for people experiencing homelessness as well as those who are now housed after being homeless.\nReba’s service to community includes numerous cross-departmental appointments to strategic and major bodies that drive policy and practice in homelessness\, mental health\, criminal justice\, and substance abuse areas.

SUMMARY:HPRI Symposium: Moving Toward an Anti-Racist System for Ending and Preventing Homelessness: Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Health and wellbeing sit at the core of a person’s ability to live life as they see fit. Whether an injury that hinders a person’s ability to work and earn an income or disability that makes traveling to various appointments onerous\, it is easy to see the many ways that ill health can lead to\, or exacerbate\, housing insecurity and homelessness. People living with mental health challenges regularly face barriers to securing and maintaining employment (Poremski et al.\, 2014) and that lack of secure employment can lead to homelessness\, where we can observe an overrepresentation of people living with serious mental illnesses (Perry and Craig\, 2015). Additionally\, often for people that are struggling to maintain housing\, the job opportunities available to them are temporary\, inconsistent in pay/benefits\, and can be dangerous (Shier et al.\, 2012). These realities of employment may not only compound existing mental or physical health challenges but could even create new ones that destabilize employment\, financial\, and housing stability. Finally\, structural challenges such as environmental racism and inequities in health services compound the issue of high healthcare costs in America for those most at risk of housing insecurity and homelessness (Spalter-Roth and Lowenthal\, 2005). \nJoin us as we explore these themes through emerging research\, learnings from lived experiences of homelessness\, rising best practices\, and discussion of ongoing intersectional dynamics between research\, policy and practice. Together we will seek to create deeper understandings of how equitable health interventions can increase housing and housing stability\, and how housing itself can act as a form of healthcare and community wellness. \nPresenters and Panelists:\n\nVanessa Rios\, Senior Program Manager\, Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH)\nVanessa Rios worked as a Senior Program Manager at Corporation for Supportive Housing (commonly known as CSH)\, where she was responsible for project management in the areas of workforce development\, property management\, and older adult homelessness. \nRios grew up in East Los Angeles during the early 1990s. Her passion for public service ignited as a child when she was exposed to the destructive effects of poverty and powerlessness in her community. She began working with AB 2034 (funded services to reduce homelessness among the mentally ill) homeless persons on Skid Row in Los Angeles at age twenty-one. She moved on to work in supportive housing\, providing services for formerly homeless individuals with a history of substance use\, severe mental illness\, and/or physical disability. It was here that she gained a deep understanding of homelessness—why they were there\, what they needed to survive\, and their greatest obstacles. Her work includes a research project titled “Frontline Workers: Urban Solutions for Developing a Sustainable Workforce in the Homeless Services Sector of Los Angeles County\,” which looked at the relationship between retention and the needs of frontline workers. In June 2022\, she released a report on peer workforce development titled “Advancing Health Equity through Skilled Peer Workers.” She holds a M.A. in Urban Sustainability and a B.A. in Liberal Studies. She believes voices struggle to be heard\, and given the opportunity\, she hopes to make her voice speak strongly for many. \nIan Costello\, Program Manager\, CSH\nIan Costello (he/him) is a program manager on CSH’s national Strategy and External Affairs team.

SUMMARY:HPRI Symposium: Unsheltered Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps the most discussed issue related to homelessness is unsheltered homelessness. People experiencing street homelessness have an increased risk of adverse health outcomes and\, potentially\, death. From April 2020 to March 2021 alone\, 1\,988 unhoused individuals died in Los Angeles County\, a 56% increase from the previous 12 months (NYT). Although historically marginalized racial/ethnic groups are more likely to experience this form of homelessness\, the number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness is on the rise and includes “people of every race\, ethnicity\, gender\, and most age groups. Only children (people under 18) have realized an overall decrease in unsheltered homelessness” in recent years (NAEH). Questions remain on how best to serve people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. \nAre encampment “sweeps” effective practices or do they exacerbate the experience of homelessness? What are the intersections between the criminalization of unsheltered homelessness and racial inequities? What kind of Interim Housing solutions are most effective; and which groups benefit the most from it? What types of outreach practices can help move someone from the streets to housing? This symposium will further these discussions with informed perspectives to facilitate collaborative approaches toward ending unsheltered homelessness. \nPresenters and Panelists: \n\nDr. Benjamin Henwood\, Professor of Social Work\, USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work\nBenjamin Henwood\, PhD\, LCSW\, is a recognized expert in health and housing services research whose work connects clinical interventions with social policy.

He is a co-author of a book on Housing First published by Oxford University Press\, and is the co-lead the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare’s Grand Challenge to End Homelessness. Dr. Henwood is currently a Professor at the University of Southern California Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work.\n\n\nDr. Randall Kuhn\, Associate Professor\, Department of Community Health Sciences\, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health\nRandall Kuhn (Ph.D.\, University of Pennsylvania\, 1999) is a demographer and sociologist who employs a wide array of research methods and data to study the social determinants of health\, health program evaluation\, and the health-development nexus. He has conducted seminal research on the impacts of migration on health. In Bangladesh\, he leads a 35-year evaluation of the effects of randomized child and reproductive health interventions on health and socioeconomic change across generations. His cross-national research and forecasts explore the effectiveness of global health policies and the role of improvements in health as a driver of social and political change. Kuhn’s methodological expertise includes longitudinal data analysis\, experimental and quasi-experimental research design\, forecasting\, and novel uses of administrative data. \n\n\nDr. Sarah Hunter\, Senior Behavioral Scientist at RAND\, Director of the RAND Center on Housing and Homelessness\nSarah B.

SUMMARY:Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) 2022 Spring Policy Forum: Homelessness in California
DESCRIPTION:More than 160\,000 Californians are without housing — a number close to the populations of Salinas or Hayward. Despite the billions of government and private dollars spent to prevent homelessness\, that number continues to rise in California while it dips nationwide. \nIs this the result of failed policies and misguided efforts? Is homelessness too complex and intractable to solve in a state so large? Do we even have enough data to support a particular path forward? \nThe Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) spring Policy Forum brings together leading experts to delve into some of the issues driving the crisis and offer their ideas on how to address them. We’ll take stock of housing prices and shortages\, mental illness and drug addiction\, criminal justice\, and an already fragile economic landscape. \nThe event will be held in person on May 19th at the SIEPR-Gunn Building on the Stanford campus. The full-day event begins with breakfast at 8:30 am PT and ends with dinner. We look forward to having you join us for all or part of the day! \n\nPanel 1: Housing Affordability & Economic Vulnerability (9:30am-10:30am PDT)\n\nChris Ko\, VP of Impact & Strategy\, United Way of Greater Los Angeles\nGary Painter\, Professor in the Sol Price School of Public Policy\, USC; Director of the Sol Price Center for Social Innovation and the Homelessness Policy Research Institute\nRegina Celestin Williams\, Executive Director\, SV@Home\nModerator: David Grusky\, Edward Ames Edmond Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences\, Stanford University; Director\, Center on Poverty and Inequality; Senior Fellow\, SIEPR.\n\nLearn More

SUMMARY:USC Center for AI in Society Seminar Series: Equity in Data-Driven Policies
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Patrick Fowler’s research centers on homelessness prevention and the negative consequences of homelessness on youth\, families\, and communities. His recent research focuses on homelessness among youth aging out of foster care and child maltreatment prevention among families experiencing homelessness. Using linked administrative data\, Dr. Fowler designs and tests big data applications to improve the fairness and efficiency of homelessness services delivery. He employs a complex systems approach to create developmentally appropriate and culturally tailored responses to homelessness. \nDiscussion Topic:\nDr. Fowler will present work investigating group fairness in algorithmic decision-making. The team uses administrative records on homeless service delivery to demonstrate inherent tradeoffs in fairness that depend on the operationalization of equity. The findings inform data-driven policy-making in homelessness and social services broadly. \n  \nRSVP \n

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Summit: Criminal Justice
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Dr. Brittany Friedman\, this virtual summit will examine how the field of social innovation – including both processes and models of social innovation – can be used to reverse the centuries-long history of racism and economic discrimination within the criminal legal system. A number of social innovation models are currently underway to address various components of the criminal legal system; many social impact bonds target criminal justice and recidivism outcomes and processes of co-production and co-creation can illuminate more equitable and effective alternatives to the current criminal legal system. \n\n\n\n\n				\n			\n\n\n\n				\n			\n\nDr. Gary Painter \nDirector USC Sol Price Center for Social Innovation\, Homelessness Policy Research Institute(Social Innovation Framing) \n\n\n \n\n\n				\n			\n\n\n\n				\n			\n\n\n		\nRSVP

SUMMARY:HPRI Symposium: Substance Use Disorder & Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:Substance Use Disorders are prevalent among 52% of adults experiencing chronic homelessness in Los Angeles County.¹ In the broader media\, we rarely hear the clear evidence about how homelessness and substance use disorders intersect. Lack of affordable housing and substance use are named as separate “causes” for increased encampments of people experiencing homelessness\, without capturing a more nuanced understanding of how the two issues may mutually reinforce each other. This symposium will illuminate research\, lived experiences\, service provision and policy practice perspectives to grow our collective understanding for how to inform equitable and culturally responsive approaches to homelessness. \n¹LAHSA 2020 Homeless Count \nPresenters and Panelists: \nHoward Padwa\, Principal Investigator\, Integrated Substance Abuse Programs\, UCLA\nHoward Padwa is a health services and qualitative researcher at UCLA’s Integrated Substance Abuse Programs (UCLA-ISAP).

In addition\, he has conducted historical research on drug policy in the United States and overseas\, served as project director for an initiative to integrate adolescent substance use prevention and early intervention services into healthcare and school settings nationwide\, and facilitated stakeholder engagement for several projects. Currently\, Dr. Padwa is leading several evaluations of initiatives to provide integrated services for homeless and other populations in Los Angeles\, and he is co-investigator on a PCORI-funded study examining substance use disorder treatment assessment and decision-making. \nRicky Bluthenthal\, Professor of Preventative Medicine\, Associate Dean for Social Justice\, Institute for Health Promotion & Disease Prevention\, USC\nRicky N. Bluthenthal\, Ph.D. is the Associate Dean for Social Justice and Vice Chair for Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion and a Professor in the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences and the Institute for Prevention Research in the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. He received a BA in History and Sociology from the University of California Santa Cruz and a MA and PhD in sociology from the University of California Berkeley. His research has established the effectiveness of syringe exchange programs\, tested novel interventions and strategies to reduce HIV risk and improve HIV testing among injection drug users and men who have sex with men\, documented how community conditions contribute to health disparities\, and examined health policy implementation. His current studies include an observational cohort study of how cannabis legalization impacts use patterns and health outcomes of cannabis and opioids among people who inject drugs and a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a single session intervention to reduce injection initiation risk behaviors among established people who inject drugs. Dr. Bluthenthal has authored or co-authored over 170 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals such as the American Journal of Public Health\, Social Science and Medicine\, The Lancet\, Addiction\, and Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research among others. \nReba Stevens\, Community Leader\nReba Stevens is dedicated to using her lived experience as a homeless individual for 21 years to advocate for lasting solutions to homelessness and represent the voice of lived expertise in many forums. Her relentless focus on the magnitude of mental health and substance abuse amongst people experiencing homelessness is founded in her own experience. A diagnosis of her mental health condition was the lynchpin to her successful road to recovery and journey out of homelessness. As a result\, she possesses a unique understanding of the mental health\, criminal justice\, and substance abuse treatment systems in Los Angeles County. Her goal is to ensure that mental health and substance abuse screenings and treatment are funded\, accessible and embedded in all the facets of service delivery for people experiencing homelessness as well as those who are now housed after being homeless.Reba’s activism and profound knowledge is demonstrated in numerous cross-departmental appointments to strategic and major bodies that drive policy and practice in homelessness\, mental health\, criminal justice\, and substance abuse areas.

SUMMARY:Examining the Complex Social Safety Net for Low-Income Working Families
DESCRIPTION:Join the Price Center for Social Innovation and Imagine LA for a webinar on January 19\, 2022 to discuss key findings from the recent report\, Examining the Complex Society Safety Net for Low-Income Working Families: How Benefit Resources Respond to Increases in Wages. \nThis report is a result of detailed research into all the social benefits (federal\, state and local) available to low-income families and how the benefits react to increases in wages. The study examined the total resources families have available and identified the threshold points where the safety net may actually become a barrier towards increased economic mobility. The report shows how most families receiving social benefits will experience lengthy resource plateaus\, where an increase in earned income is met with the equivalent loss of some benefit. In addition\, the ecosystem of social benefits is extremely challenging to navigate and protects mainly families with extremely low incomes by providing childcare and housing benefits. Policymakers must take immediate steps to simplify and streamline the benefits infrastructure to promote economic mobility\, create transparency and encourage greater use and awareness of benefits among the public\, and specifically improve access to housing benefits as they are proven to be the most effective in aiding families in poverty. \nThis webinar will include a research presentation on the report\, as well as commentary and a panel discussion about ways to improve access to the social safety net for low-income working families in the Los Angeles region. \nSpeakers\nWelcome Remarks\nPresenters\n \nCommentary\n \nPanelists\n\nJacqueline Chun\, Chief Program & Operations Officer\, Carl & Roberta Deutsch Foundation\nWendy Garen\, President & Chief Executive Officer\, Ralph M.

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Speaker Series: Chris Herring
DESCRIPTION:Chris Herring is a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard’s Inequality in America Initiative and Assistant Professor of Sociology at UCLA. His research focuses on homelessness\, housing\, welfare\, and criminal justice in US cities. His work has been published in the American Sociological Review\, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences\, Social Problems\, City and Community\, City\, and numerous edited volumes. Chris’ forthcoming book\, Cruel Streets\, explains how San Francisco\, a city at the vanguard of progressive urban politics\, intensified punishment towards the unhoused amidst initiatives of criminal justice reform and shelter expansion. \nDiscussion topic:\nIn the past five years\, the City of San Francisco has experienced rapid development of policy innovation in both welfare provision and criminal justice treatments of unsheltered homelessness. These innovations include: expansions of navigation center shelters and sanctioned encampments in gentrifying neighborhoods\, a new Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing\, a new collaboration between police\, sanitation\, and public health agencies through its Healthy Streets Operation Center\, a new anti-camping ban\, and reforms to warrants and citations for the unhoused. Drawing on two-years of ethnographic research spending time both residing on the streets and the city’s shelters with those experiencing homelessness\, as well as observations alongside police officers and social workers\, Chris’s presentation will offer a ground-level perspective of these policies from varying perspectives. He also draws connections between how changes in welfare assistance have impacted criminalization and vice versa. \nIn spotlighting the positive improvements and negative impacts of these policy innovations\, Chris puts forward a broader argument about how and why welfare and penal reforms addressing homelessness in progressive cities continue to coalesce in increasing punishment toward the unsheltered that undermine broader welfare provision. He will conclude by considering policy alternatives\, as well as alternative frameworks researchers and scholars might use in relating penal and welfare state programs addressing poverty. \n  \nRSVP \n  \n

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Speaker Series: Dr. Brandon Nicholson\, Executive Director of the Hidden Genius Project
DESCRIPTION:An Oakland native\, Brandon Nicholson is founding Executive Director of The Hidden Genius Project.  He has dedicated his life to promoting equity in the public realm\, particularly in the education space.  In his previous stint as a senior evaluator and consultant\, Brandon conducted research\, evaluation\, and consulted on a range of projects related to intersections of education policy and workforce and economic development.  It was there that he began to recognize the potential for technology to bolster the domestic and global economy as underrepresented populations gain more equitable access to growth sectors.  Brandon has conducted substantial research in the areas of education and youth development\, with a particular focus on issues of equity and access in K-12 education for underserved populations.  He has considerable experience investigating linkages among race\, class\, and youth development. \n \nDiscussion Topic:\nAs ensuing generations become increasingly comfortable and well versed in envisioning a life comprising multiple career pathways (including multiple starts and stops)\, over time our institutions and practices will need to catch up with this reality. Our world is evolving into one shaped by shorter-term successes\, some educational “failures\,” and compilation of more numerous skills and experiences over the entire trajectory of our lives. We know that thirty years of service and a gold watch is barely visible in the rearview mirror\, and our budding workforces will need to get even more adept at navigating this reality. In this conversation\, we will discuss what steps we might take along young people’s learning and growth continuum to create more meaningful and holistic life experiences. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Speaker Series: Dr. Karin D. Martin\, Assistant Professor\, Daniel J. Evans School of Public Policy & Governance
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 2\, 2021 at 12pm\, Karin D. Martin will be a featured speaker in the Price Center’s Social Innovation Speaker Series. Dr. Martin is an Assistant Professor at the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Policy & Governance at the University of Washington\, where she is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Sociology. She is a crime policy specialist whose areas of expertise are monetary sanctions\, racial disparities in the criminal justice system\, and decision-making in the criminal legal context. She is a recipient of the University of Washington Distinguished Teaching Award and is a 2021-2022 American Bar Foundation (ABF)/JPB Foundation Access to Justice Faculty Scholar. She is Affiliated Faculty with the West Coast Poverty Center and the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology at the University of Washington. \nDiscussion topic:\nWhat are the logics of monetary sanction (MS) use in the US and how do they influence an individual’s experience of punishment for a criminal conviction? To address these questions\, we draw on a systematic analysis of statutes\, interview data with debtors (n=510) and court professionals (n=435)\, as well as 1600 hours of ethnographic observation across eight states. We combine these data with publicly available administrative data to identify various logics in monetary sanction use. We find that two ideal types exemplify the logics of monetary sanctions. In “Machine Logic\,” the emphasis is on maximizing the extraction of money from those involved in the criminal legal system. In “Journey Logic\,” the focus is on holding defendants accountable as they navigate toward an outcome ostensibly desirable to both the individual and the court. We derive these logics from an assessment of the penal context and manifestation of discretion in each state. We then examine how the logics relate to the legal and experiential consequences for people assessed MS\, finding that each ideal type can entail an expansive reach of the criminal legal system into people’s lives. \nTake away lunch will be provided!\n  \n\n\nFill out my Wufoo form!

SUMMARY:Social Innovation Speaker Series: Papia Debroy and Kate Naranjo\, Opportunity@Work
DESCRIPTION:  \nOn Thursday\, October 21st\, Papia Debroy\, Senior Vice President of Insights at Opportunity@Work\, and Kate Naranjo\, Director of Opportunity@Work’s STARs Policy Project\, will discuss why the American Dream is not being realized by millions of families\, particularly families with people of color. An analysis of workers and their jobs shows some clues on how we might change this. \n  \nThe majority of our workforce are skilled through alternative routes (STARs) instead of a bachelor’s degree. STARs include workers across all races and ethnicities\, ages\, and geographies in the U.S. and they have experienced an opportunity gap in the past generation that has exacerbated inequality precipitously between them and workers with a bachelor’s degree. Yet\, analysis shows many STARs have skills for higher wage occupations. This session will dive into a deeper understanding of this part of our workforce – who STARs are\, the skills they hold as well as the employers who hire them and the pathways we could create to support their economic mobility. How might we rethink who is talented in the United States\, and build systems that leverage their skills to create a more equitable future. \nRSVP
