Emmy Tiderington, PhD, LMSW, is an Associate Professor in the School of Social Work and Associate Faculty at the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research at Rutgers University. Prior to entering academia, she worked as a clinical supervisor and social worker in housing and case management programs for individuals with serious mental illness and other complex needs. Dr. Tiderington is a widely published homeless services researcher who is known for her work on the implementation and effectiveness of permanent supportive housing, Housing First and Moving On initiative service models, best practices for facilitating transitions out of homeless services, and mental health and substance abuse recovery in homeless populations. Her research has been funded by Federal, State, local, and private funders, including the National Institute of Mental Health, the State of New Jersey, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. Currently, she is leading a two-year study funded by the National Alliance to End Homelessness. This study utilizes a population-level dataset that links Medicaid, Homeless Management Information System, and affordable housing data across two states to identify predictors of successful exit from permanent supportive housing.
