Traumatic Brain Injury Among Homeless Veterans
Research Team: Lisa A. Brenner PhD, Jennifer Olson-Madden PhD, Leah Russell MA, Ann Elizabeth Montgomery PhD, Roger Casey PhD, John Schinka PhD, Joe Huggins MSW MSCIS
The National Center on Homelessness among Veterans was established, in part, to assist the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in programming efforts to provide care for Veterans who are homeless or at-risk for homelessness. An immediate goal of the Center is to enlist research and clinical expertise to increase understanding regarding traumatic brain injury (TBI) among the homeless Veteran population.
