UC San Diego will open a data hub focused exclusively on homelessness, intended to serve as a nonpartisan hub for research, education, policy and action on homelessness, it was announced today.

The Homelessness Hub at UC San Diego will be under the umbrella of the university's Department of Urban Studies and Planning. Philanthropist couples Phyllis and Dan Epstein and Hanna and Mark Gleiberman donated $1 million each to the university to establish the hub.

"Longtime university supporters and community philanthropists Phyllis, Dan, Hanna and Mark share a common conviction that society's biggest challenges require focused efforts and resources to solve," UCSD Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla said in a statement. "The Homelessness Hub at UC San Diego has the potential to make a significant impact in understanding and addressing the factors that lead to homelessness."
