At the research centre, the team is developing innovative solutions to address mental health and homelessness within the London community and beyond. Currently, research is being done to explore the intersection of psychiatric illness and homelessness within various populations including veterans, families, and youths. Further studies have also aimed to assess the feasibility of implementing "high-tech" solutions within mental health care and housing services. Through these research efforts, the team aims to address the disparities that exist within mental health care and housing across the country.
