“…The only case–control study identified in our review conducted by Montgomery et al. () found that among veterans in the VA's supported housing programme, those who had history of alcohol use disorders were over 50% more likely to be evicted, and drug use disorders raised the odds of eviction by about 150%. However, the sample only included veterans in supported housing, so it is unknown whether the results are generalisable to other populations.…”

“…Four of the 10 studies (40%) included in our review found associations that linked addiction, heavy drinking, and illicit drug use to risk of eviction. The only case-control study identified in our review conducted by Montgomery et al (2017) Prevalence of hoarding disorder among those with housing problems was 5-10 times greater than the rate of hoarding in the general population (22% vs. 2%-5%). There was a significant association between hoarding disorder and risk of eviction; 32% of the sample with hoarding disorder were facing imminent eviction and 20% had a prior eviction.…”

“…Mental health and substance use problems were also found to be important factors associated with evictions, as has been found in reviews of factors associated with homelessness (Susser et al., ; Tsai & Rosenheck, ). Relatively high rates of mental health problems and substance use problems have been found among those at risk of evictions (Montgomery et al., ; Phinney et al., ; Rodriguez et al., ; Van Laere et al., ; Zivanovic et al., ); additionally, cognitive deficits, money mismanagement and other behavioural problems that accompany mental health problems and substance use disorders can negatively affect one's ability to pay rent and abide by lease agreements. Rates of mental health and substance abuse treatment utilisation among those at risk of evictions are unknown and so it is unclear whether they are receiving adequate treatment or whether there are barriers to care.…”

“…Four out of the 10 studies in the review (40%) identified certain sociodemographic and household characteristics as factors associated with eviction (Brisson & Covert, 2015;Desmond & Gershenson, 2017;Desmond et al, 2013;Montgomery, Cusack, Szymkowiak, Fargo, & O'Toole, 2017). First, larger households were found to be at higher risk of eviction across several studies (Brisson & Covert, 2015;Desmond & Gershenson, 2017;Desmond et al, 2013;Montgomery et al, 2017). In particular, number of children in the household was found to be a risk factor, even after controlling for other factors (Desmond & Gershenson, 2017;Desmond et al, 2013).…”

Evictions from rented accommodations are a common pathway to homelessness and can negatively impact the lives of individuals and communities worldwide. There have been only few interventions developed to address evictions, and it is important to first understand factors associated with evictions. This systematic review included all available peer-reviewed articles on the topic published in the international literature from 1900 to 2017 and identified 10 peer-reviewed studies of evictions conducted in the United States, Canada, Amsterdam and Britain. From these studies, four categories of factors associated with evictions were identified. These factors were financial hardships, sociodemographic characteristics, substance use and other health problems. While many studies had large sample sizes, the majority of studies were cross-sectional. Together, our review found that there were several salient factors known to be associated with evictions which may benefit from intervention. However, more prospective studies on evictions and development of interventions are needed.

Background Adequate housing is a basic human right. The many millions of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) have a lower life expectancy and more physical and mental health problems. Practical and effective interventions to provide appropriate housing are a public health priority. Objectives To summarise the best available evidence relating to the components of case‐management interventions for PEH via a mixed methods review that explored both the effectiveness of interventions and factors that may influence its impact. Search Methods We searched 10 bibliographic databases from 1990 to March 2021. We also included studies from Campbell Collaboration Evidence and Gap Maps and searched 28 web sites. Reference lists of included papers and systematic reviews were examined and experts contacted for additional studies. Selection Criteria We included all randomised and non‐randomised study designs exploring case management interventions where a comparison group was used. The primary outcome of interest was homelessness. Secondary outcomes included health, wellbeing, employment and costs. We also included all studies where data were collected on views and experiences that may impact on implementation. Data Collection and Analysis We assessed risk of bias using tools developed by the Campbell Collaboration. We conducted meta‐analyses of the intervention studies where possible and carried out a framework synthesis of a set of implementation studies identified by purposive sampling to represent the most ‘rich’ and ‘thick’ data. Main Results We included 64 intervention studies and 41 implementation studies. The evidence base was dominated by studies from the USA and Canada. Participants were largely (though not exclusively) people who were literally homeless, that is, living on the streets or in shelters, and who had additional support needs. Many studies were assessed as having a medium or high risk of bias. However, there was some consistency in outcomes across studies that improved confidence in the main findings. Case Management and Housing Outcomes Case management of any description was superior to usual care for homelessness outcomes (standardised mean difference [SMD] = −0.51 [95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.71, −0.30]; p < 0.01). For studies included in the meta‐analyses, Housing First had the largest observed impact, followed by Assertive Community Treatment, Critical Time Intervention and Intensive Case Management. The only statistically significant difference was between Housing First and Intensive Case Management (SMD = −0.6 [–1.1, −0.1]; p = 0.03) at ≥12 months. There was not enough evidence to compare the above approaches with standard case management within the meta‐analyses. A narrative comparison across all studies was inconclusive, though suggestive of a trend in favour of more intensive approaches. Case Management and Mental Health Outcomes The overall evidence suggested that case management of any description was not more or less effective compared to usual care for an individual's mental he...

Exploring factors related to supportive housing tenure and stability for people with serious mental illness

Overall, the retention of people with serious mental illness (SMI) in supportive housing is high. However, some supportive housing settings report average stays of only 15 months, and others report declines in housing retention over time. Many studies report variables associated with supportive housing stability and tenure, but there are few extensive, focused investigations on the subject. Hence, a literature review was conducted to investigate factors associated with supportive housing stability and tenure among people with SMI. The review of the included 28 papers reveals that the factors associated with supportive housing stability and tenure fell into two general categories of individual factors (including psychiatric factors and prior homelessness), and contextual factors (including program characteristics and sense of community and social support). In conclusion, further focus on contextual factors, as well as a potential reframing of individual factors as contextual, may be helpful in addressing issues related to supportive housing stability and tenure for people with SMI.
