The National Center for Excellence in Homeless Services (NCEHS) at the University at Albany has been leading efforts in supporting the advancement of homeless services since 2013. Guided by the Restorative Integral Support (RIS) model, NCEHS supports RISing leadership in the homeless services field. The Center offers Integrally-informed leadership training emphasizing whole person homelessness response to homeless service agency directors. In addition to leadership training, NCEHS promotes best practices, supports homeless service leaders in fostering social networks for resilience and recovery, provides guidance on innovative funding opportunities, and offers assistance in designing policies to enhance homeless services.

NCEHS also serves as a major disseminator of information related to homelessness. Program examples from around the nation and key findings from the latest research studies in the homelessness field are highlighted on the Center's blogsite (click here to check out the most recent blog post).
