Housing Stability Among Homeless Individuals with Serious Mental Illness Participating in Housing First Programs Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio 2008 Annual Conference

Context Evidence that permanent supportive housing reduces homelessness of chronically homeless people, many with psychiatric or substance abuse issues Increasing popularity of approaches emphasizing access to housing without service requirements for “hard to serve” Evidence (including this study) that Housing First may be an effective approach to meet the needs of homeless people with SMI

Purpose of the Study Exploratory look at program features and client outcomes in three Housing First programs serving homeless individuals with serious mental illness

Research Questions What are the participants’ characteristics? What are the features of the programs—target population, housing options, and service models? How long do the participants remain in housing? Why do some participants leave the program within 12 months of placement?

What is Housing First? Direct, or nearly direct, placement into housing No requirement that participants use supportive services Assertive outreach and use of a low demand approach Provision of services and housing during temporary leaves

Data Collection Administrative interviews with program staff (program features) Structured data collection by program staff to track program participation and outcomes over a 12-month period Focus groups with program participants (program experience and satisfaction)

Study Participants Chronically homeless (88%) Co-occurring mental illness and substance-related disorders (69%) Prior living situations immediately prior to Housing First Program entry varied: –39% streets –28% shelter –18% psychiatric hospitals –17% other or unknown

Housing Tenure Overall programs had similar outcomes, but findings reveal nuances to housing stability 84% of participants were still housed in Housing First program at the end of 12 months –43% stayers (n = 34) –41% intermittent stayers (n = 33) –16% leavers (n = 13)

Level of Housing Stability

Prior Living Situation by Housing Stability

Impairment from Mental Illness and Substance Abuse Little change in level of impairment from mental illness over 12 months but considerable fluctuations for individual study participants No overall improvement Changes in level of impairment may be the result of better clinical information over time

Issues with Methodology No basis for comparison with other PSH options Inability to track beyond 12 months Small sample size precluded measuring relative impact of service v. housing features on client outcomes

Funding This study was funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) The full report may be found at:
