ABOUT
Dr. Tabitha Julien – Public Health Researcher Advancing Housing Justice and Community Health
Housing is more than shelter. It is where health begins, or quietly unravels.
Before it was data, Dr. Julien lived it.
Before it was research, it was her survival story.
Dr. Tabitha Julien’s work is rooted in firsthand experience with housing instability understanding what it means to live without true stability, and how deeply housing shapes a person’s ability to feel safe, breathe easily, and exist in peace.
Today, she is a public health researcher, housing advocate, and founder of the Justice & Humanity Consulting Firm. Her work examines how housing conditions, housing instability, and policy shape health outcomes and community well-being.
Her research sits at the intersection of housing policy, environmental health, and social equity, focusing on how housing systems impact tenants and vulnerable communities. Using mixed-methods research, spatial epidemiology, and policy analysis, she identifies how housing environments contribute to health disparities and where systems fail to protect the people within them.
But this work is not done in isolation. It is built in community.
Dr. Julien partners with tenants, community organizations, and housing leaders to translate research and lived experience into actionable strategies that strengthen housing systems and protect community health.
PORTFOLIO
Over a decade of research, organizing, and advocacy advancing housing and community health.
Dr. Julien’s portfolio bridges research, lived experience, and community action spanning housing policy, program evaluation, tenant organizing, and public-facing education.
Her work combines data analysis with on-the-ground engagement to make visible the health impacts of housing conditions and instability and to support stronger systems, enforcement, and tenant protections.
