Description
By Sam Tsemberis, Ph.D.
#8073 Research proves that the Housing First approach is more effective than traditional models at dramatically reducing homelessness among those with mental health and substance use disorders. This program is now in a revised edition. It includes a facilitator’s manual and a DVD.
The step-by-step manual gives a solid foundation for introducing the evidence-based Housing First approach (provide housing first, followed by supportive treatment services) into new locations, and evolving existing programs into those based on the ideals of the Pathways Model to End Homelessness.
The details of this program include:
- 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 DVD illustrates the concepts presented in the manual, offering client success stories, helpful tips, and model teams in action.
