Soledad De Gregorio

Welcome!

I am a researcher that uses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine social policy. Specifically, my work focuses on homelessness, housing, and education, and how they impact families and children. At present, I am studying homelessness within schools, how families cope with rent burden, and conducting landscape assessments of homeless service systems. 

I am currently serving as an Associate at Abt Associates.
