Initially homeless people in the Netherlands
This observational longitudinal cohort study examines housing status, the prevalence of a comprehensive set of individual modifiable risk factors for homelessness, and changes in the prevalence of housing status and these risk factors among initially homeless people from Amsterdam over a period of 5.5 years. The four constitutional conditions of the Social Quality Approach (namely living conditions, interpersonal embeddedness, societal embeddedne…
The “Strength Compass” in Social Work
This study evaluated a new social work tool, the “Strength Compass,” as part of the person-centered intervention Pathways to Empowerment. It is deployed for the strength assessment of clients seeking support from municipal social support services. Evaluation of the prototype of the tool, through interviews with nine clients and a focus group of seven social work professionals, showed adequate to good comprehensibility, usability, and acceptabilit…
The Link Between Childhood Abuse Experiences and Homeless People’s Quality of Life
What Makes Intentional Unidirectional Peer Support for Homeless People Work? An Exploratory Analysis Based on Clients’ and Peer Workers’ Perceptions
Homeless people are increasingly supported by peer workers in one-on-one mentorship relations called intentional unidirectional peer support (IUPS). Insight is therefore needed into the application and outcome of IUPS for this vulnerable population. This study examined the outcomes, critical elements, and working mechanisms of IUPS within homeless services from the perspective of both clients receiving IUPS and peer workers providing IUPS. Semi-s…
Pathways to Empowerment
A program for person-centered intervention—Pathways to Empowerment (PTE)—is indebted to the social quality approach (SQA), which has been developed as its scientific foundation. It provides comprehensive insight into all sorts of factors that have an impact on the quality of the daily lives of persons who have lost control in their lives. In this article, we describe what puzzles were encountered in this developmental process, specifically with r…
Cognitive coping in relation to self-determination and quality of life in homeless young adults
Changes in Social Exclusion Indicators and Psychological Distress Among Homeless People Over a 2.5-Year Period
Personal goals and factors related to QoL in Dutch homeless people
Very little is known about the personal goals of homeless people and how these relate to their quality of life (QoL). By using survey data on 407 homeless adults upon entry to the social relief system in 2011, we examined the personal goals of homeless adults and the association between their perceived goal-related self-efficacy and their QoL. A hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyse the association between QoL and goal-related self…

Critical Time Intervention for Homeless People Making the Transition to Community Living
Highlights This study contributes to a European evidence base for effective interventions for homeless people. It is the first RCT conducted in Dutch shelter services; this is uncommon outside the United States. In this sample, recurrent homelessness was rare 9 months after moving from a shelter to housing. Beneficial effects of CTI on mental health seem to be independent of health care system or context
Interventions to prevent tenant evictions
Dutch homeless people 2.5 years after shelter admission
Housing stability is an important focus in research on homeless people. Although definitions of stable housing differ across studies, the perspective of homeless people themselves is generally not included. Therefore, this study explored the inclusion of satisfaction with the participant's current housing status as part of the definition of housing stability and also examined predictors of housing stability with and without the inclusion of homel…
Self-reported care needs of Dutch homeless people with and without a suspected intellectual disability
Cognitive impairment is a prevalent problem among the homeless and seems related to more psychosocial problems. However, little is known about the care needs of the subgroup of homeless people with an intellectual disability compared to those without an intellectual disability and how their care needs develop over time. This study explores self-reported care needs within a broad range of life domains among Dutch homeless people with and without a…
Homeless youth's experiences with shelter and community care services
Effectiveness of Case Management for Homeless Persons
We reviewed the literature on standard case management (SCM), intensive case management (ICM), assertive community treatment (ACT), and critical time intervention (CTI) for homeless adults. We searched databases for peer-reviewed English articles published from 1985 to 2011 and found 21 randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental studies comparing case management to other services. We found little evidence for the effectiveness of ICM. SCM…
Toward Needs Profiles of Shelter-Based Abused Women
Shelter-based abused women report a variety of needs across different domains (e.g., housing, finances, relationships, health, safety, and empowerment). This diversity of needs underscores the necessity for different types of services. In the current study, the authors constructed profiles of Dutch shelter-based abused women ( N = 218) based on their reported needs. Further, the authors compared their needs profiles with respect to sociodemograph…
