Urgent Challenges Collective
The primary aim of the Urgent Challenges Collective, which is funded by the university through a two-year strategic initiative grant, is to fund and support engaged, interdisciplinary, and actionable research related to homelessness and affordable housing in San Diego. Through analyzing the realities of these issues, the Collective is laying the foundation for systemic and sustainable change.
