Jill Khadduri is a national expert on homelessness, the homeless services system, and the intersection between homelessness and housing assistance policy.  During 24 years at Abt Associates, she served as the principal investigator for HUD’s Annual Homelessness Assessment Reports to Congress, starting with the development of data reporting standards for the Homeless Management Information System.  She is a senior advisor to the ongoing Family Options Study that followed families with children over a 12-year period after they were found in emergency shelters and compared the impacts of giving them access to a Housing Choice Voucher with the impacts of other interventions.  In 2024-2025, Dr. Khadduri was the principal investigator for a study that evaluated the outcomes and impacts of a program in Washington State that provides short-term rent subsidies to individuals with disabilities experiencing or at risk of homelessness.  Dr. Khadduri is co-author, with Marybeth Shinn, of a comprehensive assessment of homelessness, In the Midst of Plenty: homelessness and what to do about it.  Before joining Abt Associates in 2000, Dr. Khadduri was director of the Division of Policy Development in HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research.
