There is no formula that is set in stone for how to conduct research on any subject matter. But when a local government is looking to pursue new voter-approved revenues, we have identified a process we follow to help the city, county or other agency understand their constituency and do the necessary outreach to communicate the need and purpose.
We welcome the chance to share this process and review the needs of any community and explain how we can help.

Homelessness as a policy issue has grown to become the most important issue to voters in many communities across America. You might think that homelessness would not be a factor in wealthy Orange County, California, but you would be wrong.
In fact, our research shows that it is the top issue. Over the course of the this summer we have conducted polling and used other research discovery tools to truly understand how voters relate to the homelessness issue, who they think is responsible for solving the problem and what they are willing to do to help solve the problem.
Adam Probolsky spoke at a series of county sponsored events over the last two weeks, where he presenting this data to city, county and community leaders who are working hard to address the homelessness issue.
These events included:
South County Homeless Roundtable, Mission Viejo, CA – September 7, 2017
Orange County North Service Planning Area Meeting, Anaheim, CA – September 11, 2017
Central County Homelessness Service Planning Area Meeting, Newport Beach, CA – September 25, 2018
