16 Housing security 85% say they felt their housing is secure 39% say they thought about leaving their housing at least once since being housed Most often immediately after moving in Most often they stayed because their follow-up (after care) worker resolved the issue Those homeless 2+ years more likely to report thinking about leaving housing (51% vs. 28%) Same for those with mental health issues (48% vs. 33%) 32% moved at least once since being housed Most often moving from shared to independent units 16
17 Housing satisfaction linked to choice in type of housing Those who felt they had the greatest choice in type of housing were likely to report highest housing satisfaction Housing Choice Yes Somewhat No Very happy 63% 42% 32% Mostly satisfied 34% 26% 52% Somewhat unsatisfied 2% 26% 4% Very unhappy 0% 5% 12% 17
18 Living alone better than sharing Shared: Those in shared accommodation were most likely to say they had no choice in the type of housing (45% vs. 19%) Of the 32% who had moved at least once since being housed, almost one-third blamed roommate problems in shared accommodation Independent: Those living alone more likely to be very happy or mostly satisfied than those sharing Even when respondents said they had no choice in type of housing, 100% of those in independent units were very happy or mostly satisfied 18
19 Shared accommodation blamed for problems People in shared accommodation frequently reported issues with roommates/housemates that made it difficult to keep their housing. People in shared accommodation were more likely to report food security issues or say their eating had stayed the same or gotten worse Only 56% reported improvement (68% in independent units) This was often attributed to small fridges and lack of secure food storage areas Several people complained of housemates stealing their food. 19
20 Follow-up supports deemed most valuable Clients identified the following as the most valuable components of followup supports: 1. Discussion/ Decision-making 2. General support/ Makes me feel better 3. Information/ Referrals 4. Advocacy on their Behalf 5. Help with Appointments 20
21 Frequency of follow-up Once a week 41% Several times per week 17% Once every two weeks 15% Once every few months 12% Once a month 8% Once a day 6% Once every six months 1% Since being housed, 33% report a decrease in the frequency of follow-up, 51% said it stayed the same, 16% said it had increased Of those who said it had increased, several mention starting to deal with other life issues When asked about need for supports in the future, respondents generally had difficulty answering the question 56% saw it staying the same and 11% thought it would increase 21
22 After housing, less panhandling 54% panhandled when homeless 23% reported panhandling once housed Panhandling and drugs and alcohol 66% of those who panhandled used drugs, compared to 32% of non-panhandlers Once in housing, of those who stopped panhandling, 70% had also quit or decreased their alcohol use Those who decreased drug use were still likely to panhandle Those who quit drug use were less likely to panhandle 22
23 Housing makes the future look better More positive Not really changed Gotten worse 82% 18% <1% Higher self-esteem Starting to set goals Looking for volunteer positions Beginning to plan to go back to school or work 23
24 Client perspectives on housing first Friendliness and persistence of outreach workers was key to accepting service Being housed especially the first few months is a difficult adjustment and many people think about leaving Despite all the difficulties and adjustments, clients are inclined to want to stay housed 24
25 What housing first means Better quality of life Substantially less alcohol and drug use Less use of emergency services More use of appropriate health services Less panhandling The need to rebuild social networks 25
26 Policy and program implications Choice in housing leads to greater housing satisfaction, which in turn leads to greater housing stability Those sharing have less housing satisfaction More likely to have food security issues More likely to relocate Assistance with decision making is the most valuable support clients receive from their follow-up worker Reduction in emergency service use 26
