T. Freeman Gerhardt II

Gerhardt is interested in methods to increase cross-collaboration and integration between historically disparate systems of care.

T. Freeman Gerhardt II, a PhD candidate in the Behavioral and Community Sciences (BCS) program, prepared a report titled "2023 Point in Time Count Pinellas County, FL" for the Homeless Leadership Alliance of Pinellas (HLA). In the report, Gerhardt analyzes HLA's 2023 count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons and provides recommendations to expand upon the Pinellas Continuum of Care’s existing efforts and establish a foundation for system-wide coordination and collaboration. The count and his report provide key insights into the scope of homelessness in the county to help reduce homelessness and give a voice to those who are underrepresented. Read the report.
