In my research, I empirically study collaborative governance, inter-governmental relations, and housing policy, often where the federal government funds a service provided at the local level. I also examine how incentives shape organizational behavior and performance. My primary research focuses on housing policy, particularly the case of homelessness and homeless services. In doing so, I connect research from public and nonprofit finance and competition and collaboration in the public sector with that on housing and urban policy.
