“…Accordingly, Housing First offers permanent housing but tenants may find it necessary to move to find better fitting housing and a community after housing entry. This is consistent with research by Byrne, Henwood, and Scriber (2018) that shows that slightly over half of tenants have at least one move in the first one to four years in Housing First.…”

Aims This study explored community integration among women participating in a Housing First program. Physical, social, and psychological dimensions of community integration were examined. Methods This study used neighborhood walk‐along and photo‐elicitation interviews to explore 16 formerly homeless women's experiences of community integration. Results Participants described limited community integration. Health, poverty, service inaccessibility, and safety concerns shaped how they took part in activities in their neighborhoods. Participants primarily socialized with people in their buildings, though some preferred to keep to themselves. There was minimal sense of neighborhood belonging, with participants not interested in belonging to a community and being judged by others. Conclusion Housing First promoted housing stability but did not contribute to community integration. Participants did not express a strong desire to integrate in their communities. Future research should consider the extent to which community integration remains a priority for marginalized populations, such as formerly homeless women.

“…Residents who stayed in supportive housing tended to be slightly older than those who exited (Byrne et al, 2018; Harkness et al, 2004; Lipton et al, 2000; Montgomery et al, 2017; Tsemberis & Eisenberg, 2000; Wong et al, 2006). In another study, age did not predict exit from supportive housing (J.…”

“…Lower rent costs and having a signed lease predicted higher levels of housing stability (Adair et al, 2016). The length of time between program admission and placement in housing was identified as a risk factor for housing loss, with a delay of 6 months or longer being associated with exit from housing (Byrne et al, 2018; Mares et al, 2004; Wood et al, 1998). Residents in medium‐sized units, as well as scatter‐site supportive housing (as opposed to congregate), had longer housing tenures (Lipton et al, 2000; Wong et al, 2008).…”

“…Older age was generally associated with longer housing tenure, potentially because older adults may be more accepting of their housing situation, or experience a leveling of SMI symptoms as time goes on, facilitating housing stability (J.

Exploring factors related to supportive housing tenure and stability for people with serious mental illness

Overall, the retention of people with serious mental illness (SMI) in supportive housing is high. However, some supportive housing settings report average stays of only 15 months, and others report declines in housing retention over time. Many studies report variables associated with supportive housing stability and tenure, but there are few extensive, focused investigations on the subject. Hence, a literature review was conducted to investigate factors associated with supportive housing stability and tenure among people with SMI. The review of the included 28 papers reveals that the factors associated with supportive housing stability and tenure fell into two general categories of individual factors (including psychiatric factors and prior homelessness), and contextual factors (including program characteristics and sense of community and social support). In conclusion, further focus on contextual factors, as well as a potential reframing of individual factors as contextual, may be helpful in addressing issues related to supportive housing stability and tenure for people with SMI.

“…Prior research substantiates positive health and psychosocial outcomes of this intervention (e.g., decreased substance use, decreased hospitalizations, increased perceived autonomy, and improved housing retention) (4, 20–22). Although PSH boasts high housing retention (85% remain housed 1 year after move-in) (23), characteristics related to psychiatric diagnoses are salient predictors of program “failure” (e.g., problems acquiring or keeping housing) (10, 24–27). Social skills and symptoms contribute to housing attainment and retention in PSH.…”

Objective: By combining supportive services with independent housing, permanent supportive housing (PSH) programs effectively address homelessness. Yet, many persons with serious mental illness struggle to attain and retain housing in these programs. Social skills—which facilitate social interactions and instrumental tasks—predict premature exit from PSH. This project aimed to build consensus on a set of social skills that supports independent housing attainment and retention among homeless persons with serious mental illness, with a clinical focus on PSH programs. Methods: Guided by the RAND/University of California, Los Angeles, appropriateness method, the set of social skills was developed by using literature review; key informant interviews (N=12), a national consensus panel of experts in psychosocial rehabilitation and homelessness (N=11), and two focus groups with homeless persons with serious mental illness (N=17). Results: These methods identified 24 social skills in seven domains: finding and renting an apartment, using one’s time well, getting closer to people, managing finances, avoiding problems with drugs and alcohol, solving interpersonal problems, and managing one’s health. Expert panelists and focus group participants agreed that these social skills were feasible for inclusion in social skills training and could strongly affect housing outcomes in PSH settings. Conclusions: Consensus was reached about a set of social skills relevant to housing attainment and retention for persons with serious mental illness engaged in PSH. Next steps include modifying social skills training interventions to this skill set, making contextual modifications relevant to the setting and context of PSH, and studying the effectiveness and implementation of the adapted intervention in PSH.
