“…There are two general models: The first, supportive housing, includes scattered-site housing with community-based service support and single-room occupancy (SRO) housing (independent housing linked to either communitybased or site-based service support). The second, community residence facilities, includes community residences, long-term treatment facilities, and adult homes (Center for Urban Community Services 1995; Lipton et al 2000). In general, supportive housing emphasizes "normality" in housing in terms of separating services from housing arrangements and giving tenants a choice in their housing arrangements and mental health service regimens.…”

“…Lipton et al (2000) found that after one, two, and five years, 75 percent, 64 percent, and 50 percent of the almost 3,000 persons placed had remained in the program across all types of NY/NY housing configurations. Tsemberis (1999) and Tsemberis and Eichenberg (2000) have also found high rates of housing retention by NY/NY recipients, but in addition, found that tenants of one supported scattered-site housing program affiliated with NY/NY had a substantially higher retention rate after five years (88 percent) than other NY/NY supportive housing programs (55 percent).…”

This article assesses the impact of public investment in supportive housing for homeless persons with severe mental disabilities. Data on 4,679 people placed in such housing in New York City between 1989 and 1997 were merged with data on the utilization of public shelters, public and private hospitals, and correctional facilities. A series of matched controls who were homeless but not placed in housing were similarly tracked. Regression results reveal that persons placed in supportive housing experience marked reductions in shelter use, hospitalizations, length of stay per hospitalization, and time incarcerated. Before placement, homeless people with severe mental illness used about $40,451 per person per year in services (1999 dollars). Placement was associated with a reduction in services use of $16,281 per housing unit per year. Annual unit costs are estimated at $17,277, for a net cost of $995 per unit per year over the first two years.

“…The former finding is consistent with prior studies that have found older HF tenants to have higher rates of housing retention, [11][12][13][14] and may reflect lower levels of substance abuse among older adults, which has been linked to housing failure in prior studies of HF. 11,15 The latter finding may reflect that individuals who have the highest needs and are hardest to place in an initial housing unit continue to experience substantial barriers to housing stability even after they move in to housing.…”

Research has demonstrated that Housing First (HF) is an effective intervention for improving housing stability among individuals with serious mental illness experiencing chronic homelessness, but efforts to examine residential moves experienced by HF participants remain limited. The present study assessed the extent to which participants in an HF program in Philadelphia experienced residential moves, situational factors related to residential moves, and HF participant characteristics associated with experiencing moves. Roughly half of HF participants in the study cohort experienced a residential move at some point during the study period, which translates into participants experiencing an average of one move every 2.3 years.Moves categorized as due to housing loss were more common than those related to housing fit.Length of time between program admission and initial move-in and older age were positively associated with an increased rate of moves following initial move-in. Study findings have important implications for HF providers and programs.

“…These studies generally provide support for the utility of supportive housing for single mentally ill adults (e.g., Culhane et al 2002;Lipton et al 2000). The use of rental subsidies has been shown to be important for residential stability, across both single adults and families (e.g., Shinn et al 1998).…”

Promoting Children’s Mental Health in Family Supportive Housing: A Community–University Partnership for Formerly Homeless Children and Families

Emerging research indicates that significant numbers of formerly homeless families residing in permanent supportive housing have caregivers with substance use and mental health disorders, and children with histories of exposure to violence, abuse, and out-of-home placement. These factors place children at risk for adverse psychosocial outcomes, including later homelessness, providing a strong rationale for embedding child-focused prevention and intervention services in supportive housing contexts. This article describes a developing community-university partnership whose goal is to advance practice and research in the adaptation and dissemination of mental health prevention and early intervention for children in supportive housing.

Tenure in Supportive Housing for Homeless Persons With Severe Mental Illness

Abstract: Results show that homeless persons with serious mental illness can remain in stable housing for periods of up to five years, supporting the premise that long-term residential stability can be enhanced by providing access to safe and affordable supportive housing.
