The California Policy Lab’s Homelessness Prevention Community Advisory Board (CAB) is an essential part of CPL’s research process and will help to ensure that community needs are addressed and prioritized in all phases of research. The success of our research is largely dependent upon active participation from community stakeholders, including: people with lived expertise of homelessness, people who utilized prevention programs, service providers who administer prevention programs and tools, program managers who supervise program implementation, and professionals who work within other systems that impact homelessness prevention. The CAB was officially launched in April, 2021. For more information or questions about the CAB, please contact April Nunn.
