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 …
Testing the feasibility of telemental health services in permanent supportive housing
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is an evidence-based intervention to end homelessness but programs can vary widely in their type and intensity of supportive services. This study tests the feasibility of implementing evidence-based psychosocial interventions (e.g. motivational interviewing or cognitive behavioral therapy) through Telehealth (TH) to PSH residents in an urban setting. PSH tenants who lived in 3 separate buildings were eligible fo…
Examining fall risk among formerly homeless older adults living in permanent supportive housing
Although permanent supportive housing (PSH) has been credited with a decline in the number of chronically homeless adults in the United States since 2007, the extent to which PSH can accommodate the needs of a prematurely aging population, including reducing the likelihood of falls, is unclear. The objective of this study is to examine the prevalence and correlates of falls with a sample of 237 tenants (45- to 80-year olds) from two PSH programme…
Food Insecurity Among Formerly Homeless Individuals Living in Permanent Supportive Housing
Objectives. To assess the role of health-related factors, health care, nutrition, and socioeconomic factors in food insecurity prevalence in a sample of previously homeless adults living in permanent supportive housing. Methods. In 2016 to 2017, we recruited and completed survey interviews with permanent supportive housing residents aged 45 years and older in Los Angeles, California (n = 237). We conducted univariable and multivariable analyses t…
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…
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…
