ABOUT
Researching What Harms. Communicating What Helps.
Housing is more than shelter. It is where health begins, or quietly unravels.
Before it was data, Dr. Julien lived it.
Her expertise spans the full arc of this work — from leading statewide lead surveillance at the New York State Department of Health, to building first-of-its-kind datasets linking housing enforcement and health outcomes at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, to organizing tenant associations and leading campaigns that secured repairs and prompted lead investigations in her own community.
Each layer deepens her understanding of how housing conditions accumulate into health crises — and what it actually takes to change them.
Her methods include spatial epidemiology, difference-in-differences causal analysis, geospatial modeling in ArcGIS, and large-scale administrative data linkage using R, SAS, and SQL.
Through the Justice & Humanity Consulting Firm, she makes that expertise available to organizations, governing bodies, and decision-makers working at the intersection of housing and health.
She is the author of The Stabilized City, a public-facing publication translating housing and health research for tenants, organizations, and decision-makers.
PORTFOLIO
Over a decade of research, policy evaluation, and community action at the intersection of housing and health.
Research produced in community coupled with scientific evidence designed to move policy, protect tenants, and inform the organizations working to do both. From the data to the demand letter — Dr. Julien's portfolio reflects what it takes to understand housing and health from every angle.
