Abstract
The present paper is the result of dissertation research on factors related to treatment failure in supportive housing programs for the adult, homeless, chronically mentally ill (CMI) population. The paper begins with a general review of the literature on the population, including an overview of epidemiological issues. Historical efforts to increase understanding of service needs of the population are then reviewed. The paper continues with a description of supportive housing and its subtypes, reviews a sampling of supportive housing effectiveness research, and introduces the constructs of residential stability and program retention as potential supportive housing outcome indicators. Research regarding possible mediators of housing stability is then examined. A description of the present study is presented, followed by results of a Kaplan-Meier analysis and an extended Cox regression analysis of longitudinal supportive housing data in which the terminal event is disengagement from Philadelphia-based supportedhousing programs. The paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of the study's statistical results.
