Housing First: The Pathways Model to End Homelessness for People with Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders - Softcover
Synopsis
As an evidence-based practice, Housing First has not only been proven to be successful in ending homelessness, but is also embraced as the most cost-effective solution. Today, the Housing First model is being implemented in hundreds of communities across the United States, Canada and Europe. As the model evolves one thing remains constant: Housing First ends homelessness. Housing First is simple: provide housing first, and then combine that housing with supportive treatment services in mental and physical health, substance abuse, education, and employment. Housing First details: solid, actionable information about the program's philosophy, operations, and administration; the composition, staffing structures, and day-to-day operations of the clinical and support services; practices in client assessment and engagement; property management operations; the best protocols for assisting clients with the search for housing, relationships with landlords, and the overall 'settling in' process; the research evidence for the effectiveness of the Pathways model. The Pathways model has been remarkably successful in ending chronic homelessness. Since its founding, housing retention rates have remained at 85 - 90 percent even among individuals who have not succeeded in other programmes. Not only is Housing First effective at keeping people housed and working toward recovery, it has also proven to be incredibly cost-effective.
