Surita Parashar coordinates "At Home At Howe Street, an evaluation of a supportive housing intervention for people living with HIV." This prospective cohort study, conducted in partnership with McLaren Housing Society of BC and funded through a CIHR Population Health Intervention Research grant, investigates the impact of a supportive housing complex on the health of individuals and families affected by HIV.

This study stemmed from Surita's doctoral research at Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Health Sciences, a community based initiative entitled, “The way I see it: a photographic exploration of housing and health among persons living with HIV in Vancouver.” Surita contributes to a number of other studies within the Division of Epidemiology and Population Health including the Dr. Peter Study, the Engage Study and the Longitudinal Investigations into Supportive and Ancillary Health Services (LISA) project.
