Dennis P. Culhane, Vincent Kane, Mark S. Johnson

• The authors reflect on homelessness research and on the role that it plays in homelessness policy and programming in the U.S. They suggest that much progress has been made in homelessness research, policy and programming and that the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will provide opportunities for homeless services research. They argue that additional research needs to be conducted on the public health and societal benefits of housing for people who were once homeless.
