Watch: UC San Diego Homelessness Hub Evaluation of Humble Design San Diego

The applied research team at the UC San Diego Homelessness Hub evaluated the impact of Humble Design San Diego.

The team found that 98% of Humble clients stay housed after receiving Humble's services, and that having a home -- rather than only having housing -- is a social determinant of health and well-being.
