The interim findings from the CMHS Housing Initiative will shed light on the extent to which supported housing is more effective than more traditional residential alternatives in helping persons with serious mental illness achieve residential stability, and improve their level of functioning, satisfaction, quality of life, and independence. In addition, because the study was able to look within each housing approach and assess a set of critical housing dimensions (such as housing choice, service choice, and others), the findings provide insight into those ingredients of housing that may be most important to the well-being of residents. Dr. Randolph will serve as a discussant to the presentations on the cross-site and individual site outcome findings and discuss the implications of these findings for federal policy and practice guidelines.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant in this session will be able to: 1. Describe the implications of these outcome results for federal policy and practice guidelines.
