Stable housing is the primary health determinant for unhoused individuals, yet they face complex barriers to securing housing and other essential benefits. SHEP exists to connect the resources and person-power of universities to Bay Area community partners, empowering them to develop programs that advance housing and health equity for individuals experiencing homelessness. SHEP members are undertaking a range of initiatives, including: Eye 4 Equity, S-HOP, Recovery Incentives Project, UEO Direct Service, MED 219, and Health EDU.
