Housing Innovation Lab

The Housing Innovation Lab supports the collective response to homelessness across Connecticut by integrating systems-level data, innovative tools, and the lived expertise of people who have experienced homelessness.

The Housing Innovation Lab identifies opportunities to maximize the impact of homelessness response efforts, and designs innovative, technology-based solutions for residents, practitioners and policymakers. The Lab’s work is centered on four pillars–data, inquiry, lived expertise, and capacity building.
