Randomized Controlled Trial
Housing first improves residential stability in homeless adults with concurrent substance dependence and mental disorders.
We examined the relationship between substance dependence and residential stability in homeless adults with current mental disorders 12 months after randomization to Housing First programs or treatment as usual (no housing or support through the study). ⋯ People with mental disorders might achieve similar levels of housing stability from Housing First regardless of whether they experience concurrent substance dependence.
