Implicating the Housing First Model to Help End Homelessness What is housing first?
Housing first is a homeless assistance approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness. This ends their homelessness and serves as a platform from which they can then pursue personal goals as well as improve their quality of life.
The housing first model is a more sustainable approach to solving the issue of homelessness long term and is more cost efficient for communities to place these individuals in housing. Thesis
The notion of housing first is to provide homeless individuals with a place to live, prior to addressing the underlying issues that made them homeless in the first place. These issues could include mental illness, addiction, loss of a job, or physical disabilities. This approach is the opposite of the treatment first model, which focuses on fixing these underlying problems before providing housing. How is Housing First Different than other Approaches?
How is Housing First Different Pt. 2 The housing first approach understands that for a person to grow, they need to be in a safe environment with a good support system. Supportive services and treatment are offered to people placed in permeant supportive housing, but participation is not required as services have been found to be more effective when a person chooses to engage.
According to a study conducted by the Washington State University psychology professor Susan Collins, over a three-month period, researchers noted a 43% reduction in overall alcohol-related harm, a 29% reduction in frequency of drinking and a 10% improvement in people s self-assessment of their physical health. 300 people from 3 different Seattle homeless shelters were observed in this study. Is Housing First Effective?
How is HF Effective Pt. 2 Oftentimes, these folks are labeled treatment failures, but we started to realize after many years of doing this work, maybe it s us, the treatment system that s failing them, more than the other way around, - Susan Collins. When people are clean from drugs and alcohol, they are more likely to maintain a job and stay off the streets
Outpatient treatment can often lead to relapse. If a homeless person is receiving outpatient treatment while living on the street, they are more likely to spend most of their time in an environment where drugs are prevalent. The housing first model not only provides private shelter, but also personalized services that include addiction treatment.
Not only are housing first interventions effective in ending homelessness, but they are also typically cheaper than allowing people to remain homeless, and reliant on public shelters and other services. (pros and cons of housing first, page 11, lines 22-24)
According to a study done by the University of North Carolina, the study found that Housing the homeless led to dramatic cost savings that more than paid for the cost of putting them in permeant supportive housing. This includes $1.8 million in health care savings due to 447 fewer ER visits, which is a 78% reduction. There was also 372 fewer days spent in the hospital, which is a 79% reduction. Tenants also spent 84 fewer days in jail, with a 72% drop in arrests. How is Housing First Cost Efficient for Communities?
This is an example of a permeant supportive housing building. The construction of these buildings also creates jobs for construction workers.
