Couch-Surfing and HIV Risk Behavior Among Young Adults Experiencing Homelessness
Young adults experiencing homelessness (YAEH) are significantly more likely to engage in HIV risk-related sexual behavior relative to their stably housed peers, and their social support networks can influence their engagement in these behaviors. However, few studies have investigated HIV risk behaviors among YAEH who are "couch-surfing," a highly prevalent network-based survival strategy that involves cycling through temporary, informal housing a…

A Comparative Analysis of Transitional and Permanent Supportive Housing Through the Lens of Young Adult Residents
Health Care Needs of Young Adults Who Have Experienced Homelessness
INTRODUCTION: Young adults experiencing homelessness have poorer overall health compared with the general population. However, not much is known about how health care needs may change in the transition from homelessness to supportive housing. This study utilizes the Gelberg-Andersen Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations to examine unmet health care needs among young adults currently experiencing homelessness and formerly homeless young adul…
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 …

Housing interventions for emerging adults experiencing homelessness
A Mixed-method Evaluation of the Behavioral Health Integration and Complex Care Initiative Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research
BACKGROUND: Integrated behavioral health and primary care can improve the health of persons with complex chronic conditions. The Behavioral Health Integration and Complex Care Initiative (BHICCI) implemented integrated care across a large health system. Whether Behavioral Health Organizations (BHOs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) implemented the BHICCI differently is unclear. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate…
Provider perspectives of housing programs for young adults experiencing homelessness
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
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 …
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…

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 (…
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…
Differences in Health and Social Support between Homeless Men and Women Entering Permanent Supportive Housing
Peer Support in Full-Service Partnerships
Housing First
Little more than two decades ago, the 'Housing First' (HF) approach pioneered by Pathways to Housing, Incorporated was a small but determined challenge to the burgeoning yet ineffective service system for homeless persons. Today, the success of HF has brought about paradigm-shifting systems change not only in the homeless 'industry' but in related service systems. This book employs conceptual frameworks drawn from theories of institutional change…
