Process and outcome in a hostel outreach program for homeless clients with severe mental illness

P Goering et al. Am J Orthopsychiatry. 1997 Oct.

Abstract

A longitudinal study followed 55 homeless and severely mentally ill clients of a hostel outreach program to assess outcomes and their relationship to program elements. Results at 18-month follow-up indicated that, despite chronic histories of transiency and shelter use, housing stability had been achieved, and that initial gains in social functioning and symptom reduction had been increased. Development of a strong working alliance proved a key program element in the findings.
