Robin Gahan is the Policy and Program Manager of the Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness (VCEH). Robin has been gaining expertise in homeless services and policy over the past ten years. She has worked in Richmond with the Daily Planet, the Multiple Family Retreat Program (a collaborative effort between by VCU and Communities in Schools), and most recently with Virginia Supportive Housing where she engaged in policy development, program management and evaluation, and researched the health and mortality of the formerly homeless persons living in supportive housing. Robin is a strong advocate for the increase of person-centered approaches such as the Housing First philosophy and the use of best practices to increase individual’s opportunity for employment to regain self-sufficiency. Robin is passionate about using her social work skills to change the way Virginia responds to individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Robin holds a Masters in Social Work Administration, Planning, and Policy Practice and Bachelors of Social Work with a minor in African American Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University.
