New York University
Sarah Narendorf is an Associate Professor at NYU Silver School of Social Work. She previously served for twelve years on faculty at the Graduate College of Social Work at the University of Houston. She was Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development for five years during her time at the University of Houston.
Dr. Narendorf’s research focuses on ensuring successful transitions to adulthood for young adults who face this transition while navigating intersecting structural barriers. She has conducted research in partnership with collaborators across the United States to understand risk and resilience characteristics for young adults experiencing homelessness and has examined the intersections of housing instability and mental health crises. This work has resulted in publications in leading social work and mental health journals, including Journal of Adolescent Health, Community Mental Health Journal, American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, and Children and Youth Services Review. She is currently conducting an intervention development study for a new intervention, Charge Up!, which adapts Critical Time Intervention and Cornerstone Coordinated Community Care to support mental health for young adults transitioning from homelessness to supported housing. She is also conducting research to understand the impact of Youth Advisory Boards on housing practices at the community level and exploring how artificial intelligence can be used to support better prioritization of community housing resources.
