“Months after the CARES Act, communities still await federal homelessness aid.” 

David Lucas, assistant professor in the department of entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises in the Whitman School, was interviewed by USA Today for the story “Months after the CARES Act, communities still await federal homelessness aid.” Lucas, who studies homelessness and social entrepreneurship, believes that federal funding should “support a diverse array of programs because the experiences and backgrounds of homeless people vary.” “There are some for whom homelessness is brief and non-recurring. And there are some who are … experiencing a kind of cycle where they will become homeless again and again,” says Lucas.
