Imagine a Setting
Where homelessness can be viewed through the lens of a person's individual mental and physical needs, policies that enhance services to meet those needs, and the economics that sustain those services.
Where the challenge of diabetes can be addressed through community based interventions that reduce diabetes by promoting health behaviors and families with diabetes can be provided optimal strategies and technologies to manage diabetes.
