“I am honored to have the opportunity to help lead and support our community as we work together to end homelessness and to create a true continuum of care. I join the CHIP team at an exciting yet pivotal time, as our community launches the five-year Indianapolis Community Plan to End Homelessness. The plan is ambitious and inclusive in a way that, I hope, inspires and empowers us to come together in new, creative, and collaborative ways to end and prevent homelessness. I am eager to continue to build relationships, to facilitate cross-sector partnerships, and to implement systemic solutions to homelessness and housing instability in our city, ” said Haring-Cozzi.
She holds a master’s degree in public administration and a Ph.D. in public policy and political science from Michigan State University.
