“…Prior research suggests that the number and strength of an individual's social connections are two of the strongest predictors of well‐being among various populations (e.g., Cohen & Wills, 1985; Dolan, Peasgood, & White, 2008; Helliwell & Putnam, 2004), while effective social support through social connectedness may enhance health and well‐being (Cohen & Wills, 1985; Jetten, Haslam, Haslam, Dingle, & Jones, 2014). Interpersonal relationships and social support have been found to contribute to well‐being among individuals experiencing homelessness (Biswas‐Diener & Diener, 2006; Stewart & Townley, 2019), with more recent research suggesting that gains in social support can benefit well‐being among individuals utilizing homeless services and housing programs (Johnson, Aschkenasy, Herbers, & Gillenwater, 1996).…”
