Are you interested in researching homelessness, but not sure where to start? Do you have data related to homelessness you’ve been intending to analyze? Have you been thinking about an ethical, religious or artistic dimension of homelessness you’d like to explore?
Homelessness is one of the greatest challenges we face in our region, and we lack academic research into the crisis. This RFP invites SCU faculty to address this gap with grant awards of up to $4,000.
We welcome original proposals focused on the local homelessness crisis. Projects that are community-partnered or consider ethical or equity implications related to homelessness will be prioritized.
Applications are due February 13, 2026
Awards will be announced February 25th.

We look forward to your proposals!
