Biopsychosocial (BPS) in Homelessness (South Carolina) – Case studies of chronic and acute homeless individuals utilizing a Biopsychosocial (BPS) Model. The biopsychosocial model is an interdisciplinary model that analyzes the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors. The research will specifically examine how these aspects play a role within homelessness. 

The study could highlight a group and/or specific factors/causes which correlate Biopsychosocial (BPS) practices/processes with homelessness. Processes/assessment/data can be utilized to reduce homeless population rates. Project milestones and goals - find cause/common causes of recidivism, gaps in service, and potential solutions to reduce homeless recidivism.
