Research
The Staten Island Equity & Belonging (The SIEB) Study
The SIEB is an academic community partnership that seeks to foster community resilience, increase community belonging, and identify opportunities for spatial justice. The SIEB includes a mixed-methods study examining the attitudes, perceptions, and awareness that SI residents have about aspects of equity and community belonging.
A Pilot Study on Hotels as Non-Congregate Emergency Living Accommodations for Returning Citizens
The study examines interventions with adults recently released from prison and their transition to non-congregate hotel settings. The study combines systemwide secondary data with focus groups, participant surveys, and one on one interviews. The research team of returning citizens, support staff, case managers, and administrators have employed a Developmental Evaluation (DE) approach to the research.

An Evaluation Study of the Peace Brokers Project (PBP)
A new initiative funded by the Department of Justice, the PBP project is an East Harlem initiative staffed by Credible Messengers (peer mentors with a history of incarceration), who form supportive, confidential, person-centered relationships with youth at the highest risk of committing or becoming victims of violence. This study uses a mixed-methods design to assess changes in coping strategies and emotional regulation among participants of the PBP and the influence of the PBP on community violence.
