SUPPORTED HOUSING INITIATIVE CMHS Supported Housing Initiative AHP conducted research in three of six study sites that were part of a national, multi-site study of residential programs for people with serious mental illnesses. The longitudinal study was intended to determine whether the innovative supported housing model was more effective than alternative housing models and whether outcomes were influenced by the fidelity with which programs implemented the supported housing model. Working with a team of 30 interviewers, individual interviews were conducted at baseline, 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-, and 18-months, with an 80 percent or higher follow-up rate across waves. These interviews included data on a range of outcomes including residential stability, income and employment, housing satisfaction, perceived empowerment, quality of life, isolation and community integration, social support, and utilization of services.
