As an evidence-based practice, Housing First has not only been proven to be successful in ending homelessness, but is also embraced as the most cost-effective solution. Today, the Housing First model is being implemented in hundreds of communities across the United States, Canada and Europe. As the model evolves one thing remains constant: Housing First ends homelessness. Housing First is simple: provide housing first, and then combine that housing with supportive treatment services in mental and physical health, substance abuse, education, and employment.Housing First details:solid, actionable information about the program's philosophy, operations, and administrationthe composition, staffing structures, and day-to-day operations of the clinical and support servicespractices in client assessment and engagementproperty management operationsthe best protocols for assisting clients with the search for housing, relationships with landlords, and the overall "settling in" processthe research evidence for the effectiveness of the Pathways modelThe Pathways model has been remarkably successful in ending chronic homelessness. Since its founding, housing retention rates have remained at 85 – 90 percent even among individuals who have not succeeded in other programs. Not only is Housing First effective at keeping people housed and working toward recovery, it has also proven to be incredibly cost-effective.

This book provides a unique portrayal of Housing First as a 'paradigm shift' in homeless services. Since 1992, this approach has spread nationally and internationally, changing systems and reversing the usual continuum of care. The success of Housing First has few parallels in social and human services.

The current qualitative policy analysis will examine city economics and group control of policy and spacial development at the local levels through inspection of Los Angeles' political evolution toward approving the Housing First (HF) Model. The paradigm shift in homeless policy toward the HF Model was not given proper dialogue before legislators passed funding measures for homeless housing. New York, Seattle and Los Angeles have assumed that simply housing the homeless will solve the crisis. Through better education of the HF Model, legislators can ensure the policies passed are successful and the homeless can be housed. The final recommendations for current and future policy endeavors will argue that the HF Model can be successful when stakeholders and legislators within each community are educated on the benefits of housing the homeless prior to treating needs, voters approve tax-funded permanent and temporary supportive housing, and actual implementation of those options are spread throughout the city.

Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.

Abstract: This study is a policy analysis of the Housing First model. For over the past 10 years, this model has swept the country as an innovative intervention to end chronic homelessness. Housing First provides immediate access to independent housing as well as support by an intensive case management team offering a multitude of services such as mental health and substance abuse treatment. This analysis incorporates history, policy objectives, federal influences, and relevance to foreign policies. This thesis also addresses the current short- and long-range effects of the Housing First model on the chronically homeless. Findings indicate that this policy is centered in the values of self-determination and harm reduction, and that housing is viewed as a basic right for all human beings. Findings point toward positive results. Implications for social work practice and future research are explored.

Philadelphia is one of several cities in the United States that has a disproportionately high rate of homeless adults. In 2009 the Office of Supportive Housing reported that on any given night, 6,304 people were homeless in the city of Philadelphia (Kligerman, Darling & Schaffer, 2010). Many of these homeless individuals have substance abuse or mental health issues. In the past the city has primarily used conventional methods to address this very serious problem, but recently efforts have been made to adopt an innovative method of housing for those who are considered chronically-homeless, the Housing First model. This paper will take a comparative look at the "Housing First" model, and the more traditional modality, commonly called "Continuum of Care". The primary focus of this paper is to determine the effectiveness of the "Housing First" and "Harm Reduction" models on providing permanent supportive housing for homeless adults suffering with serious mental health and co-occurring substance abuse problems in the city of Philadelphia. This paper presents empirical evidence about the effectiveness of the overall services provided to the homeless population in Philadelphia, with a specific focus on Pathways to Housing, Philadelphia.

This dissertation uses rhetorical circulation as a lens through which to investigate how messages about poverty - in particular, an approach to homelessness called Housing First - spread in advocacy and policymaking processes. I trace the rhetoric of Housing First across local and national levels, incorporating more than 20 interviews with people involved in different aspect of its spread. These interviews supplement close textual analysis of a wide variety of artifacts, including federal notices of funding availability, video of community meetings, newspaper coverage, advocates' training materials, scholarly research materials supporting Housing First, and more. Each chapter examines a different nodal point in the model's circulation, from the local to the national, and back to the local. Likewise, each makes a different theoretical argument. The first chapter elucidates how rhetorics of consumer choice (even when rooted in mental health advocacy) cannot be separated from market-based discourse. The second looks at how money functions as both justification and inducement for the adoption of Housing First, arguing that material currency has a performative function in public deliberation. The third challenges full transparency as a democratic ideal in light of "Not-In-My-Backyard" responses to Housing First. With this dissertation, I contribute to a growing body of rhetorical scholarship that demonstrates that studies concerned with power dynamics and the material impacts of rhetoric can also contribute to our understanding of how rhetoric itself works. Studying rhetorical circulation in policymaking contexts improves our understanding of public deliberation and of rhetoric as a dynamic force. This manuscript demonstrates how advocates of progressive policies can adopt dominant ideologies (even as they may also resist them) to push those policies through conservative institutions and persuade individuals. By identifying key developments and transformations in the spread of Housing First, I also contribute to our understanding of how people gain and lose rhetorical agency, how imagined publics shift with changes in messaging, and how different types of texts garner or lose prominence in public policymaking processes.
