“…These methods and findings have relevance for implementing other multi-faceted EBPs in diverse community-based organizations that serve homeless-experienced adults. While a breadth of EBPs (Munthe-Kaas et al, 2018 ; Pottie et al, 2020 ; Lowman and Sheetz, 2021 ; Semborski et al, 2021 ) [e.g., Housing First, harm reduction paradigms, and Assertive Community Treatment (multidisciplinary, team-based case management approach with assertive community outreach)] effectively address homelessness among adults with behavioral health disorders, it is immensely challenging to implement and sustain such practices with fidelity (Casey et al, 2013 ; Smelson et al, 2022 ; Tidmarsh et al, 2022 ). In this pilot, we used REP (Kilbourne et al, 2014 ; Hamilton et al, 2017 ) to engage multi-level stakeholders in a structured approaches to tailor an EBP for a specific context.…”

The Veterans Affairs (VA) Grant and Per Diem Case Management “Aftercare” program provides 6 months of case management for homeless-experienced Veterans (HEVs) transitioning to permanent housing, with the aim of decreasing returns to homelessness. Implementing Critical Time Intervention (CTI)—an evidence-based case management practice—would standardize care across the 128 community-based agencies that provide Aftercare services. To prepare for national CTI implementation in Aftercare, guided by Replicating Effective Programs (REP), we conducted a four-site pilot in which we adapted a CTI implementation package (training, technical assistance, and external facilitation); characterized stakeholder perspectives regarding the acceptability and appropriateness of this package; and identified contextual factors that affected CTI implementation. We engaged a stakeholder workgroup to tailor existing CTI training and technical assistance materials for Aftercare. To provide tailored support for providers and leaders to adopt and incorporate evidence-based practices (EBPs) into routine care, we also developed external facilitation materials and processes. Over 9 months, we implemented this package at four sites. We conducted semi-structured interviews at pre-implementation, mid-implementation, and 6 months post-implementation, with HEVs (n = 37), case managers (n = 16), supervisors (n = 10), and VA leaders (n = 4); these data were integrated with templated reflection notes from the project facilitator. We used rapid qualitative analysis and targeted coding to assess the acceptability and appropriateness of CTI and our implementation package and identify factors influencing CTI implementation. Stakeholders generally found CTI acceptable and appropriate; there was consensus that components of CTI were useful and compatible for this setting. To adapt our implementation package for scale-up, this pilot highlighted the value of robust and tangible CTI training and technical assistance—grounded in real-world cases—that highlights the congruence of CTI with relevant performance metrics. Variations in agency-level contextual factors may necessitate more intense and tailored supports to implement and sustain complex EBPs like CTI. Processes used in this pilot are relevant for implementing other EBPs in organizations that serve vulnerable populations. EBP scale-up and sustainment can be enhanced by engaging stakeholders to tailor EBPs for specific contexts; pilot testing and refining implementation packages for scale-up; and using qualitative methods to characterize contextual factors that affect EBP implementation.

“…Este aspecto está entroncado con la dimensión socio-estructural, ya que es el propio sistema el que bloquea la incorporación de estas personas al mercado laboral por distintos motivos: edad, capacidades diferentes o estado de salud, falta de documentación identificatoria, nivel educativo, etc. -Otro elemento clave es el apoyo para acceder a una vivienda (Ferguson et al, 2012;Fortea-Busquets y Herruz-Pamies, 2017;Matulic-Domandzic, 2018;Semborski et al, 2021). Tener una residencia no sólo implica la seguridad frente a las violencias de la calle, sino un sinfín de connotaciones de intimidad, control, organización, cuidado personal, descanso y alimentación.…”

El artículo propone un modelo tridimensional de intervención social para población en situación de calle, a partir de un estudio de caso realizado en Hermosillo, Sonora (México) con varones exmigrantes deportados. Una lectura final de la investigación diagnóstica propuso la conformación de tres constructos reflexivos desde los cuales comprender el sinhogarismo: la trayectoria de vida de los hombres adultos mayores en su rol de exmigrantes, la desconexión socio-familiar tras el proceso migratorio, y la deportación y el desamparo socio-estructural basado en la falta de política social y en la exclusión social. La pobreza extrema es una combinación entre escasez de ingresos, falta de desarrollo humano y exclusión social. De acuerdo a esta definición leída desde la mirada de los Derechos Humanos, el marco teórico sobre el que se sustenta el análisis de los resultados y desde el que se proyecta el modelo de transformación se aborda desde dos ejes: a) la pobreza multidimensional y la integralidad del desarrollo y b) la desigualdad y la justicia social. El modelo de transformación social incorpora a los sujetos en su propio proceso de cambio y a sus entornos desde tres dimensiones: 1) individual, 2) socio-familiar y 3) socio-estructural. Los aspectos básicos abordables en este modelo, y desde los cuales se conforman los objetivos de intervención, son los siguientes: proyectos de vida, salud emocional, oportunidades laborales, redes socio-familiares, igualdad de género y conciencia social.

“…According to Jill, Dickson and Weeks (2015) Supportive housing programme are proposed as a way of increasing housing access and stability for the chronically homeless, improving access to needed services and decreasing vulnerability to diseases. According to Semborski, Brain and Henwood (2019) Supportive housing provides a more comprehensive and sustainable solution than emergency shelters and short term housing by providing holistic approach that addresses the varied factors involved in homelessness. Supportive housing combines affordable housing concepts with social services providers to help vulnerable segment of the population experiencing hardship and homelessness transition to permanent housing.…”

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the health and socio-economic outcome of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the supportive housing scheme n Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Methodology: This study adopts the mixed approach to analyze the health and socio-economic outcome of 65 beneficiaries and 30 non-beneficiaries of the supportive housing scheme (FEYRep Shelter of Hope) in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A sampling frame containing the list of vulnerable groups who were beneficiaries and those on the waiting list (non-beneficiaries) was obtained from the FEYRep office and used to randomly select the samples. Oral testimony and questionnaire were used to collect relevant data for the study. Whereas, a thematic analysis of the transcript of oral testimony was done; the independent t-test was also employed to compare outcome between the two samples. Data presentation was done using Tables and Pictorial. Findings: Findings revealed a harrowing and degrading experience reported by the respondents who are still homeless or living in despicable housing. Furthermore, health and socio-economic outcome were found to differ significantly in favour of the beneficiaries. Unique contributions to theory, practice and policy: Findings reinforce the fact that supportive housing has the potency to mediate and ameliorate the housing predicament of the vulnerable and also enhance their health and socio-economic status. Further gains in this direction can be reaped if the FEYReP or other stakeholders in the supportive housing project can expand their scope of beneficiaries as well as providing social services for the beneficiaries.
