Robert G. Marbut, Jr., Ph.D.
Founder of Marbut Consulting, Professor at Marbut Consulting
San Antonio, Texas
First as a volunteer, then later as a San Antonio City Councilperson/Mayor-Pro-Tem and a homeless service agency President/CEO, Dr. Robert Marbut has worked on homeless issues for more than three decades.
In 2007, frustrated by the lack of real improvement, and as part of the concept development phase for the Haven for Hope Campus, Dr. Marbut conducted a nationwide best practices study of homeless services. After personally visiting 237 homeless service facilities in 12 states and the District of Columbia, he developed The Seven Guiding Principles of Homeless Transformation. Since then, Dr. Marbut has visited a total of 677 operations in 21 states, plus Washington, DC and Mexico City, DF, and has helped dozens of cities to dramatically reduce homelessness.
