Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

This Review, for DIHAL, the French Interministerial body with strategic responsibility for homelessness, was undertaken to assess the international evidence base on the success of Housing First services in promoting health and social and economic integration for formerly homeless people using Housing First services. The Review aimed to answer three main groups of questions:

❱❱What types of support are provided in Housing First
to promote health and well-being? How effective are
these supports? Are there ways in which these
supports could be enhanced?

❱❱What types of support are provided in Housing
First to promote social and economic inclusion?
How effective are these supports? Are there ways
in which these supports could be enhanced?

❱❱ Are there lessons from other areas of policy
and practice that may be useful in enhancing the
effectiveness of Housing First and other services
in promoting health and well-being, and social and
economic integration?
