The housing and homelessness crises are caused by a complex web of factors ranging from lack of housing production and zoning policies to structural racism in labor markets and criminal justice systems. The consequences of homelessness for individuals and families are profound, and these crises strain public services and systems. Research on housing and homelessness is often siloed, and fragmentation in funding and program delivery across housing and homelessness organizations undermines effective solutions. This planning project focuses on the development of an interdisciplinary research Center that brings housing and homelessness research communities together. The project considers the social, health, economic, and policy dimensions of these intersecting crises, and emphasizes the structural reforms that are needed to reduce homelessness and improve the well-being of individuals. It also aims to inform the public debate on housing and homelessness by replacing misconceptions with data and accessible research. Research on housing and homelessness is often not informed by interdisciplinary research approaches spanning economics, psychology, anthropology, geography, sociology, and other social science disciplines. The project plans for interdisciplinary research to advance knowledge by integrating the perspectives of housing and homelessness research, employing a dynamic rather than static framework of homelessness, and integrating structural and individual approaches to the experiences of different demographic and risk groups. Planned activities will help inform policy solutions to the housing and homelessness crises, such as identifying a strategic interdisciplinary research agenda, improving the data ecosystem for social science research on housing and homelessness, and supporting community participatory research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

住房和无家可归危机是由一系列复杂因素造成的，从住房生产和分区政策的缺乏到劳动力市场和刑事司法系统中的结构性种族主义。无家可归对个人和家庭的影响是深远的，这些危机给公共服务和系统带来压力。关于住房和无家可归者的研究往往是孤立的，住房和无家可归者组织的资金和项目交付分散，破坏了有效的解决方案。该规划项目的重点是开发一个跨学科研究中心，将住房和无家可归研究社区聚集在一起。该项目考虑了这些交叉危机的社会、健康、经济和政策层面，并强调减少无家可归和改善个人福祉所需的结构性改革。它还旨在通过用数据和可获取的研究取代误解，为有关住房和无家可归问题的公众辩论提供信息。 对住房和无家可归者的研究通常没有采用涵盖经济学、心理学、人类学、地理学、社会学和其他社会科学学科的跨学科研究方法。该项目计划进行跨学科研究，通过整合住房和无家可归者研究的观点、采用动态而非静态的无家可归者框架、以及整合不同人口和风险群体经历的结构性和个人方法来增进知识。计划的活动将有助于为住房和无家可归者危机提供政策解决方案，例如确定战略性跨学科研究议程、改善住房和无家可归者社会科学研究的数据生态系统以及支持社区参与性研究。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并具有通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
