Adrian pursued this project in Spring 2010 in the Tech course, CP6033: Government and Markets, taught by associate professor and author of \u003Cem\u003EForeclosed,\u003C\/em\u003E Dan Immergluck. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Adrian, he pursued the topic because he was involved in supportive housing development before entering Georgia Tech. \u0022I have seen firsthand how effective this innovative policy format has been in resolving one of the most intractable problems of modern American society,\u0022 he said. \u0022I wanted to suggest a way for Georgia to become an innovator in this field, particularly because of the rural homelessness problem we have in this state.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis is the second time a Georgia Tech student has received the Edward McClure award since its inception in 1985.

It is clear that the current level of funding for supportive housing in Georgia is insufficient to meet the needs of the homeless population, particularly in rural areas. This is not only a social policy problem: homelessness greatly taxes criminal justice and emergency health systems, which are funded by fiscally strained local and county governments, and supportive housing has been shown in reputable studies to reduce these costs by close to a 1:1 ratio. This paper compares four current state-funded programs in New York, Connecticut, North Carolina and California, and the author utilizes these four comparison policies to suggest a funding framework for the state of Georgia that, while sensitive to political feasibility concerns in a predominantly conservative state, could significantly expand the role of state government in reducing homelessness.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/GATech_Troels Adrian_Housing_Policy_Paper.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ERead \u0022Funding Supportive Housing in Georgia: Inspiration from Other States.\u003C\/a\u003E\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Funding Supportive Housing in Georgia: Inspiration from Other States\u0022 compares four state policies aimed at funding supportive housing.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27215","created_gmt":"2010-09-14 12:30:40","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:07:23","author":"Mike Alberghini","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2010-09-14T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2010-09-14T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"61179":{"id":"61179","type":"image","title":"Troels_Adrian_full","body":null,"created":"1449176308","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:58:28","changed":"1475894533","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:42:13","alt":"Troels_Adrian_full","file":{"fid":"191287","name":"Troels_Adrian.JPG","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Troels_Adrian_0.JPG","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Troels_Adrian_0.JPG","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":1221209,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Troels_Adrian_0.JPG?itok=0sIxoKi6"}}},"media_ids":["61179"],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"10713","name":"adrian troels"},{"id":"2695","name":"alumnus"},{"id":"101","name":"Award"},{"id":"10712","name":"edward mcclure"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ETroels Adrian\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["troels.adrian@gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
