The Columbia Center for Homelessness Prevention Studies (CHPS) is an interdisciplinary research center focused on the prevention of homelessness among people with severe mental illness. Opening in October, 2005 with support from the National Institute of Mental Health, the mission of CHPS is to develop, test and disseminate effective individual and population-level prevention strategies.

Based at the Joseph L. Mailman School of Public Health, CHPS brings together researchers from multiple disciplines, schools and departments of the university, with collaborators from other academic institutions, government agencies, service providers and consumer organizations.

CHPS is headed by Carol L.M. Caton, Ph.D. (Director) and Ezra Susser, M.D., Dr.P.H. (Co-Director).

For the Director of Finance and Administration, please contact Mireille Valbrun.
