Characterizing Multisystem Barriers to Women’s Residential SUD Treatment: A Multisite Qualitative Analysis in Los Angeles
Life meaning in a social context among formerly homeless residents of permanent supportive housing
Objective: Experiencing a life of meaning is considered fundamental to "what makes life worth living," yet investigation of life meaning among persons with lived experiences of homelessness is lacking. This study seeks to understand life meaning among formerly homeless residents of permanent supportive housing through an examination of its association with social context. Method: Data were collected through interviews with 383 persons with experi…
Identifying Cigarette Smoking Trajectories from Homelessness to Housing
This study examines cigarette smoking trajectories from homelessness to housing and assesses demographic and clinical characteristics associated with multiple longitudinal smoking behavior patterns. Data were drawn from a longitudinal prospective cohort study of 421 adults experiencing homelessness who entered permanent supportive housing (PSH). Four quantitative surveys (baseline [while homeless], 3-, 6-, and 12 months post-housing) gathered par…
Does the Timing of Incarceration Impact the Timing and Duration of Homelessness? Evidence from “The Transitions to Housing” Study
Compared to their non-homeless peers, chronically homeless adults are much more likely to have a history of incarceration. In turn, homelessness is associated with increased morbidity, lack of access to adequate healthcare services, and decreased life expectancy. This study investigates whether age at first incarceration is associated with age at first homeless experience and with lifetime duration of literal homelessness. Study participants are …
Views on health activation and support services among formerly homeless adults living in Permanent Supportive Housing in the United States
Individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness often have unmet physical and mental health needs and experiences of trauma and stigma. This study aimed to measure, for the first time, health activation (self-advocacy and empowerment) levels among formerly homeless adults living in Permanent Supportive Housing or PSH (referred to hereafter as residents). In addition, residents' experiences accessing health services, and their sense of healt…
Service utilisation changes in the transition to permanent supportive housing: The role of the housing environment and case management
This study examines whether routine, low-cost service use changes in the transition from homelessness to permanent supportive housing (PSH) and explores whether housing model, neighbourhood and level of case management engagement affect utilisation of routine services. Data come from a prospective longitudinal study of adults experiencing homelessness who entered PSH in Los Angeles between 2014 and 2016 and participated in four interviews: pre-ho…
Risk behaviour and access to HIV/Aids prevention services among formerly homeless young adults living in housing programmes
Young adults who experience homelessness have high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV. Homelessness services programmes that provide housing to young adults have the capacity to reduce STI risk profiles. This study analysed data from 140 formerly homeless adults who moved into a housing programme in Los Angeles County between the ages of 18 and 25 years to investigate risk behaviour and access to HIV/AIDS prevention ser…
Gender Differences in Residents’ Intention to Leave Permanent Supportive Housing
Objectives: There has been limited exploration of permanent supportive housing (PSH) tenants’ intention to exit PSH, including how satisfaction with services, apartments, and neighborhoods may impact residents’ intention to leave. This study seeks to better understand the socioenvironmental factors associated with residents’ intention to leave PSH, including whether there are gender differences in intention to leave. Method: Data are from 383 chr…
Exploring the Association of Community Integration in Mental Health among Formerly Homeless Individuals Living in Permanent Supportive Housing
Supportive housing has been widely used among persons experiencing chronic homelessness and/or mental health conditions. While it has been demonstrated to be effective in addressing homelessness among populations with complex needs, community integration remains a challenge. Community integration is the extent to which individuals live, participate, and socialize in their community and consists of three aspects: physical, social, and psychologica…
Social network change after moving into permanent supportive housing: Who stays and who goes
Social relationships are important among persons experiencing homelessness, but there is little research on changes in social networks among persons moving into permanent supportive housing (PSH). Using data collected as part of a longitudinal study of 405 adults (aged 39+) moving into PSH, this study describes network upheaval during this critical time of transition. Interviews conducted prior to and after three months of living in PSH assessed …
Everyday discrimination among formerly homeless persons in permanent supportive housing
Experiences of discrimination are associated with poor health and are particularly common among persons experiencing homelessness. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) provides a foundation for improved well-being among persons with homelessness histories, but research on discrimination among this population is lacking. We examined changes in experiences of, and perceived reasons for, everyday discrimination when persons moved into PSH. 421 adults …
Do HIV risk and prevention behaviors change over time among adults in permanent supportive housing
Persons experiencing homelessness have a disproportionate burden of HIV infection and high rates of HIV risk behavior. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) has been identified as a primary solution to homelessness, but little is known about HIV sexual risk behavior among persons in PSH, nor about how HIV risk and prevention behavior may change as persons move from homelessness into PSH. Utilizing longitudinal data from 421 persons prior to moving i…
Los Angeles housing models and neighbourhoods’ role in supportive housing residents’ social integration
Social integration is an indicator of programmatic success in supportive housing, yet is an ongoing challenge for residents. This study examines varying supportive housing models’ (i.e. congregate, single-site, scatter-site) and neighborhoods’ (i.e. Skid Row, Downtown Los Angeles [DTLA], Other) differential impact on social integration outcomes- measured by residents’ social networks (i.e. size, diversity, social support). Participants were forme…
Mental health change in the transition to permanent supportive housing: The role of housing and social networks
Aims: Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) may improve homeless adults’ mental health via housing stabilization and/or improved relational factors, however, the role of housing and social networks on PSH residents' mental health change is minimally understood. Methods: Interviews were conducted with a baseline sample of adults experiencing homelessness ( N = 421), across their initial year in PSH (3‐months, 6‐months, and 12‐months). Generalized lin…
Life Goals Over Time Among Homeless Adults in Permanent Supportive Housing
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is a widely‐accepted solution to the challenge of chronic homelessness. While housing support and retention, physical health, and healthcare continue to be important for formerly homeless persons in PSH, “higher‐order” and humanistic needs such as thriving have received less attention and as a result are less well understood in this population. One important indicator of thriving is the ability to establish and …
Understanding Risk Environments in Permanent Supportive Housing for Formerly Homeless Adults
In this study, we used ethnographic methods and a risk environment framework to consider how contextual factors produce or reduce risk for substance use with a sample of 27 adults who recently moved into permanent supportive housing (PSH). Most apparent was how the social and physical environments interacted, because most participants focused on how having an apartment had dramatically changed their lives and how they interact with others. Specif…
No digital divide? Technology use among homeless adults
Homeless adults experience increased risk of negative health outcomes, and technology-based interventions may provide an opportunity for improving health in this population. However, little is known about homeless adults' technology access and use. Utilizing data from a study of 421 homeless adults moving into PSH, this paper presents descriptive technology findings, and compares results to age-matched general population data. The vast majority (…
Life goals and gender differences among chronically homeless individuals entering permanent supportive housing
This research seeks to understand goals and the gender differences in goals among men and women who are transitioning into permanent supportive housing. Because of systemic gender inequality, men and women experience homelessness differently. Data collected for this study come from a longitudinal investigation of HIV risk behavior and social networks among women and men transitioning from homelessness to permanent supportive housing. As part of t…
Provider perceptions on HIV risk and prevention services within permanent supportive housing
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is an evidence-based solution to homelessness for persons experiencing chronic or long-term homelessness and one or more physical or behavioral health problems. Health services through PSH typically focus on physical and behavioral health. With the exception of programs specifically designed for persons living with HIV/AIDS, little attention has focused on services through PSH to prevent transmission of HIV or o…
Risk behavior and access to HIV/Aids prevention services in a community sample of homeless persons entering permanent supportive housing
Homeless persons suffer disproportionately high rates of HIV infection, and moving into permanent supportive housing (PSH) can provide a stable base from which to access needed prevention services. However, little is known about HIV risk or prevention behavior during this critical time of transition. The current study investigated STI and HIV risk and prevention behavior and recent use of prevention and treatment services (i.e., education, testin…
Differences in Health and Social Support between Homeless Men and Women Entering Permanent Supportive Housing
Availability of comprehensive services in permanent supportive housing in Los Angeles
Studies have often described a specific model or models of permanent supportive housing (PSH), yet few studies have systematically examined what services are typically offered to PSH tenants in any given service system and how those services are offered. Using telephone surveys from 23 PSH agency supervisors and qualitative data collected from 11 focus groups with 60 frontline providers and 17 individual interviews with supervisors from a subset …
Understanding Consistent Condom Use Among Homeless Men Who Have Sex with Women and Engage in Multiple Sexual Partnerships: A Path Analysis
Location, Location, Location: Perceptions of Safety and Security Among Formerly Homeless Persons Transitioned to Permanent Supportive Housing
Objective: Low perceived safety and security might have adverse health consequences, especially for chronically homeless individuals who are at high risk of victimization on the street. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is an effective strategy to address chronic homelessness and improve residents’ health and well-being. However, it is unclear how formerly homeless individuals’ perceptions of safety and security reflect the objective neighborhoo…
Personal Networks: A Hypothesized Mediator in the Association Between Incarceration and HIV Risk Behaviors Among Women With Histories of Homelessness
Objective: Research on women with histories of homelessness shows both higher rates of incarceration and higher rates of HIV-risk behaviors. However, understanding homeless women's experiences with the criminal justice system is hampered by the dearth of social network research with this population. To fill this gap and in an effort to enhance HIV-risk reduction among women with histories of homelessness, we examine whether incarceration history …
Antecedents of Physical and Sexual Victimization Among Homeless Women: A Comparison to Homeless Men
Homeless women experience extensive health risks including physical and sexual victimization. Few studies that have gathered information on homeless persons have reported results separately for women or have compared them directly with men. Research that both investigates antecedents of victimization among homeless women and compares them to those for men is necessary to determine whether prevention efforts must be different for each group. We in…
Sampling to Reduce Respondent Burden in Personal Network Studies and Its Effect on Estimates of Structural Measures
Recently, researchers have been increasingly interested in collecting personal network data. Collecting this type of data is particularly burdensome on the respondents, who need to elicit the names of alters, answer questions about each alter (network composition), and evaluate the strength of possible relationships among the named alters (network structure). In line with the research of McCarty et al., the authors propose reducing respondent bur…
Who Is Supporting Homeless Youth? Predictors of Support in Personal Networks
Homeless youth lack the traditional support networks of their housed peers, which increases their risk for poor health outcomes. Using a multilevel dyadic analytic approach, this study identified characteristics of social contacts, relationships, and social networks associated with the provision of tangible and emotional support to homeless youth (N = 419, M age = 20.09, SD = 2.80). Support providers were likely to be family members, sex-partners…
Social Networks of Homeless Youth in Emerging Adulthood
Availability of comprehensive services in permanent supportive housing in Los Angeles
Studies have often described a specific model or models of permanent supportive housing (PSH), yet few studies have systematically examined what services are typically offered to PSH tenants in any given service system and how those services are offered. Using telephone surveys from 23 PSH agency supervisors and qualitative data collected from 11 focus groups with 60 frontline providers and 17 individual interviews with supervisors from a subset …
Understanding Pregnancy‐Related Attitudes and Behaviors: A Mixed‐Methods Study of Homeless Youth
Effective and accessible pregnancy prevention and family planning programs for homeless youth are needed. Youths' ambivalence toward pregnancy and feelings of relationship commitment warrant attention as possible areas for programs to address
Increased Substance Use and Risky Sexual Behavior Among Migratory Homeless Youth: Exploring the Role of Social Network Composition
When, Where, Why and with Whom Homeless Women Engage in Risky Sexual Behaviors: A Framework for Understanding Complex and Varied Decision-Making Processes
Social Networks and Chronic Mental Illness: A Test of Four Perspectives
Although many studies describe the social networks of people with chronic mental illness, we know little about the effects of these networks on well-being. This research tests four perspectives on social relations and quality of life, all of which hold that dimensions of networks shape life satisfaction by affecting self-esteem. However, these perspectives disagree about which particular dimension is consequential: relationships with Insiders vs.…

Changes in Social Networks and HIV Risk Behaviors Among Homeless Adults Transitioning Into Permanent Supportive Housing: A Mixed Methods Pilot Study
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) has been recognized by the U.S. federal government as the “clear solution” to chronic homelessness. Whether and how access to PSH affects HIV risk is unclear. This mixed methods pilot study uses a convergent parallel design in order to better understand social relationships and HIV risk during the transition from homelessness to PSH. Findings suggest that (a) Sexual activity and HIV risk behaviors increase with …
Social networks, time homeless, and social support: A study of men on Skid Row
Homeless men are frequently unsheltered and isolated, disconnected from supportive organizations and individuals. However, little research has investigated these men's social networks. We investigate the structure and composition of homeless men's social networks, vis-a-vis short- and long-term homelessness with a sample of men drawn randomly from meal lines on Skid Row in Los Angeles. Men continuously homeless for the past six months display net…
Monogamy on the Street: A Mixed Methods Study of Homeless Men
In this study, we used a mixed methods approach to explore the determinants of relationship patterns and risky sex among homeless men living in downtown Los Angeles. This involved analysis of qualitative interviews focused on gender ideology and sexual events ( n = 30) as well as structured interviews ( n = 305) focused on homeless men’s sexual partners, sexual behaviors, and social networks. We found that men valued committed relationships but w…

Masculinity and HIV risk among homeless men in Los Angeles
HIV continues to be a serious public health problem for men who have sex with women (MSW), especially homeless MSW. Although consideration of gender has improved HIV prevention interventions, most of the research and intervention development has targeted how women's HIV risk is affected by gender roles. The effect of gender roles on MSW has received relatively little attention. Previous studies have shown mixed results when investigating the asso…
Mental health change in the transition to permanent supportive housing: The role of housing and social networks
Aims: Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) may improve homeless adults’ mental health via housing stabilization and/or improved relational factors, however, the role of housing and social networks on PSH residents' mental health change is minimally understood. Methods: Interviews were conducted with a baseline sample of adults experiencing homelessness ( N = 421), across their initial year in PSH (3‐months, 6‐months, and 12‐months). Generalized lin…
Transitioning from Homelessness: A “Fresh-Start” Event
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) has been recognized as central to the goal of ending chronic homelessness. This qualitative study considers the positive and negative expectations of 31 men and women in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles who are beginning the transition from homelessness to PSH through a Housing First approach. This study uses in-depth, qualitative interviews and an inductive approach informed by sensitizing concepts derived from…
Experiencing Interpersonal Violence: Perspectives of Sexually Active, Substance-Using Women Living in Shelters and Low-Income Housing
As part of a larger study, the authors investigated experiences of recent violence among sexually active, substance-using women. Structured interviews were conducted with 172 women living in shelters and low-income housing, 41 of whom also completed an in-depth interview on their worst violent episode. Structured interviews indicated that rape and self-blame were more common among sheltered women. In-depth interviews suggested that sheltered wome…

Utilization of Birth Control Services among Homeless Women
Although homeless women appear to be at notable risk of unintended pregnancy, insufficient attention has been paid to understanding their access to birth control services and the characteristics of homeless women who want birth control services. To address these research gaps, the authors analyzed data from a probability sample of 974 homeless women who were interviewed in shelters and meal programs in Los Angeles County. Multivariate logistic re…

Strategies for Obtaining Probability Samples of Homeless Youth
Studies of homeless individuals typically sample subjects from few types of sites or regions within a metropolitan area. This article focuses on the biases that can result from such a practice. We obtained a probability sample of 419 homeless youth from 41 sites (shelters, drop-in centers, and streets) in four regions of Los Angeles County (LAC). We found that restricting the frame to only certain types of sites or geographic regions biased the s…
Length of time spent homeless: Implications for employment of homeless persons
This study investigated the relationship between the length of time spent homeless and employment outcomes for homeless participants in job training programs. Participants furnished information about their psychological resources (internality and learned resourcefulness) and social support when they entered employment training programs. Employment outcomes were status as employed or unemployed at termination from the programs and the level of emp…
Homeless Veteransʼ Utilization of Medical, Psychiatric, and Substance Abuse Services
This study focuses on the association between homeless veterans' prior utilization of medical, psychiatric, and substance abuse services and biopsychosocial characteristics reported at admission into a domiciliary care program. Given the large number of veterans in the US homeless population and their health care needs, understanding factors associated with health service use among homeless veterans is significant. Research participants were 429 …
Access to Substance Abuse Treatment for Homeless Women of Reproductive Age
Homeless women in the United States comprise a subpopulation at high risk for substance abuse, with rates of substance use disorder ranging from 16% to 67%. Despite the need for treatment that such high rates imply, relatively few substance-abusing homeless women avail themselves of formal treatment. The fact that they tend not to utilize formal treatment services is especially problematic among homeless women of reproductive age, who are not onl…
Drug-Abusing Homeless Clients in California's Substance Abuse Treatment System
As many as one-half to three-fourths of homeless persons have diagnoses of alcohol or other drug dependence. Rates of alcohol and other drug use disorders, and the social costs associated with untreated substance disorder, are higher among homeless than nonhomeless persons. Despite the high level of need for treatment, relatively few substance-abusing homeless individuals receive treatment for their drug problems, suggesting difficulties in acces…

Access to Inpatient or Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Among Homeless Adults With Alcohol or Other Drug Use Disorders
OBJECTIVES: We conducted a theoretically guided study of access to inpatient or residential treatment among a probability sample of homeless adults with alcohol or drug use disorders in Houston, Texas. METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional, retrospective design with data collected from a multistage random sample of 797 homeless adults age 18 or older who were living in Houston shelters and streets in 1996. Structured, face-to-face interviews…
Weighting for Period Perspective in Samples of the Homeless
For some sample-based studies of the homeless, it may be relevant to adopt a period perspective, in which analyses focus on the mix of persons who experience homelessness at least once during some period of time, not just the mix of persons at a point in time. Period perspective presumably can be enhanced by weights that account for the intermittent nature of homelessness, but such weighting invites implementation problems related to calculation,…

Sexual Risk among Impoverished Women: Understanding the Role of Housing Status
Predictors of Unprotected Sex with Non-cohabitating Primary Partners among Sheltered and Low-income Housed Women in Los Angeles County
This study investigated associations of substance use, relationship abuse and HIV self-protective behavior with unprotected sex among 290 impoverished women with a non-cohabitating primary partner. Unprotected sex was associated with having a physically or psychologically abusive partner among low-income housed women, and having an abusive partner who also drank to intoxication among women living in shelters. Indicators of HIV self-protective beh…
Sampling with Field Burden Constraints: An Application to Sheltered Homeless and Low-Income Housed Women
In this article, the authors present a statistically efficient, cost-effective way of collecting a probability sample in the presence of certain field burden constraints: restrictions on the maximum number of participants that can be sampled within a given institution and a small population size relative to the sample size dictated by the study aims. The authors suggest the use of disproportionate stratified random sampling as an alternative to t…
Homeless Women’s Personal Networks: Implications for Understanding Risk Behavior
The goal of this exploratory study was to examine the composition of homeless women's personal networks in order to better understand the social context of risk behavior in this vulnerable population. Twenty-eight homeless women residing in temporary shelters in Los Angeles County provided detailed information about their extended personal networks. Women named 25 people with whom they had contact during the past year, and then were asked a serie…
