Additionally, she served as a homeless-to-home program housing case manager at Project Understanding from 2015 until 2016, demonstrating her dedication to improving housing stability for those experiencing homelessness.

Dr. Grekin began her professional work in various foundational roles, including as a housing intern at Beyond Shelter from 2009 to 2010 and as a forensic crisis advocate at Valley Trauma Center (now Strength United) during the same period.
