Here to discuss homelessness from an academic and research perspective are Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Allied Health Sciences - School of Social Work, James Canfield; and Associate Professor of Nursing in the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing, Rebecca Lee.
