Improving Housing Outcomes for Homeless Veterans (CDA 15-074)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Housing Skills Training Group for Veterans and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Many homeless Veterans with serious mental illness (SMI) enroll in the VA's Supported Housing (VASH) program but struggle to obtain and sustain housing. Social skills are an important-but underappreciated-determinant of housing outcomes for homeless adults. The investigators hypothesize that homeless Veterans with SMI who participate in a social skills training program, tailored for housing-related social skills, will obtain housing quicker, retain housing longer, and show improved mental health outcomes compared to Veterans with similar needs not participating in such a program.
