This interview with Dr. Tatiana Bailey will examine what we know through research about individuals who experience homelessness in Colorado Springs – how do we define the problem and what are common characteristics? In 2017, HPP began working on program evaluation to better understand the challenges our clients face and which interventions work well. Data collection continued in 2018 and results were published in 2019.
Tatiana Bailey has her Master’s in economics and her doctorate in public health, both from the University of Michigan. In the health care arena, Dr. Bailey has focused on programs that aim to increase access and quality while reducing costs, particularly for at-risk populations. She also presents to audiences who wish to be better informed about the general framework of the health care system in the United States.
