“…International research has produced similar results. 11,[22][23][24] Mayock and colleagues 23,24 conducted a qualitative study tracking the housing trajectories of 40 young people in Dublin for 6 years and found that most identified significant challenges including financial hardship and establishing positive social relationships, and few were able to maintain independent housing, with most either moving back home or into transitional housing (it should be noted that family support was a positive predictive factor). This research stressed the importance of supporting rapid exits from homelessness 23 : "Those young people who "got out" early were likely to "stay out," even if a number did return to homelessness temporarily for a period".…”

In North America, the key performance indicator of success in community strategies to address homelessness is whether a homeless person is housed or not. In this article, we argue that for young people experiencing homelessness, we need to advance a broader consideration of outcomes to include a range of well-being indicators designed to understand the needs of developing adolescents and young adults and contribute to housing stability. We articulate that the positive outcomes of young people across life domains that include housing stability as well as their safety and security, health and well-being, social connections to peers, family and meaningful adults, connections to groups/neighbourhoods/communities, interests and recreation and leisure, and school and career/work aspirations and goals must be at the centre of these efforts. The Making the Shift project is designed to test this outcomes framework in order to enhance service and measurement capacity and ultimately improve outcomes for youth.

“…UK research (Ford et al , 2002) has indentified many young homeless people as experiencing a ‘chaotic pathway’, characterised by an absence of planning, limited family support and substantial constraints on access to housing. Mayock et al (2008) identify three main pathways into homelessness for young people: a care history, household instability and family conflict and negative peer associations and ‘problem’ behaviour. The strong labour markets of the 1960s and early 1970s in Australia meant that early home leaving was not problematic for the vast majority of young people.…”

The youth foyer model was designed to provide a package of support, including accommodation to homeless or at-risk young people, based on participation in education, training and/or employment as a supported transition to independent living and a sustainable livelihood. Commencing in the early 1990s, the UK has developed a large number of foyers while Australia is a relative newcomer to this kind of supportive youth housing. Unlike in the UK, existing and proposed Australian foyer income generated from current benefits and subsidies is not sufficient to cover the cost of support. We highlight the need for an extensible source of funding specifically for supportive housing for homeless and at-risk youth in order to ensure the financial sustainability and therefore replicability of the foyer model in Australia. We also discuss some issues relating to the translation of the model from one national context to another.

“…43-1570. Apsistojusiųjų nakvynės namuose, krizių centruose asmenų kategorija, dėl galimybių ją apibrėžti administraciniais terminais, yra bene lengviausiai identifikuojama benamių kategorija, nes asmuo, patekdamas į socialinių paslaugų įstaigas, traktuojamas kaip jų "klientas", paslaugų gavėjas (Mayock, Corr 2013 Valstybės žinios, 2006-04-20, Nr. 43-1570.…”

“…Individų turimos gyvenimo "totalinėse institucijose" -nakvynės namuose, kalėjimuose -patirtys, įvairių užsienio tyrimų duomenimis, yra vieni pagrindinių faktorių, lemiančių patekimą į "institucinę grandinę". Įkalinimo patirtis, šiuo atveju, yra akcentuojama kaip esminė, lemianti nuolatinį ilgesnį ar trumpesnį apsistojimą nakvynės namuose (Metraux, Culhane 2006;Mayock, Corr 2013). Fokus grupės dalyvių diskutuota vaikų globos namų patirtis, gretinant ją su "savarankiškumo išsiugdymo stoka" ir rizika pasidaryti priklausomam nuo socialinės gerovės sistemos paramos, susisieja su daugelyje įvairių studijų pateikiama globos namų patirties, kaip veiksnio, lemiančio nuolatinės gyvenamosios vietos neturėjimo (ir benamystės) rizika (Anderson 2001).…”
