“…HF aims at reducing homelessness by conceptualizing being housed as a starting point rather than an ending point (Miler et al, 2022; Pleace, 2016). The HF model was included among the evidence‐based practices in 2007 (Szeintuc, 2011) and was shown to be more effective than TS (Aubry et al, 2019; Baxter et al, 2019; FEANTSA and Foundation Abbé Pierre, 2018; Greenwood et al, 2020; Jacob et al, 2021; Latimer et al, 2019; O'Shaughnessy et al, 2020; Pleace, 2016).…”

This study aims to investigate whether a working alliance could represent a potential mechanism that explains the effectiveness of housing services in terms of user recovery, comparing the Housing First (HF) model with Traditional Services (TS). This study included 59 homeless service users in Italy (29 = HF; 30 = TS). Recovery was assessed upon entering the study (T0) and after 10 months (T1). Results indicate that participants inserted in HF services were more likely to report stronger working alliances with social service providers at T0 that, in turn, was directly associated with higher levels of users' recovery at the beginning of the study and indirectly (through recovery at T0) with recovery at T1. Implications of the results are discussed with respect to research and practice on homeless services.
