Research + Advocacy Team

The Research and Advocacy Team works to end homelessness through systemic and sustainable change. We work on advocacy campaigns in Georgetown and greater DC. We spread awareness on campus through social media and events like Narcan trainings and Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. We also support students in doing their own research projects relating to homelessness and housing justice. With many different ways to engage with the team, there’s something for everyone. 

Members of our team conduct research projects on a variety of topics related to housing, such as mental health, race, LGBTQ identity, gentrification, rent control, and food security. Additionally, we partner with DC-based housing justice organizations to advocate for changes in policies to minimize homelessness and food insecurity. Finally, we work to educate the Georgetown community about how to be in solidarity with our unhoused neighbors. 

Federal Work Study and volunteer positions are available to Georgetown students to support different client-focused programs and projects, 4-8 hours a week. Students are trained and participate in reflection sessions.
