Institute of Homeless Studies

The Institute for Homeless Studies (IHS) at Camillus House is a new center focused on expanding the knowledge-base surrounding homeless issues, and improving the capacity and effectiveness of individuals, organizations, and systems serving persons experiencing homelessness. IHS will focus on four areas of programming: training and education; media and publications; research and evaluation; and customized consultation services.

IHS draws upon the organization’s 47 years of experience working in the homeless field, bringing together resources and expertise towards a goal of ending homelessness. Camillus has established IHS to serve as a resource and clearinghouse of information for anyone serving persons experiencing homelessness.
