The Health Benefits of Housing First

Housing First is an anti-homelessness intervention which recognizes that people must first have access to safe housing before engaging with other forms of health and social services.

In their article published today Ahead of Print, Devlin Hanson and Sarah Gillespie of the Urban Institute examine the impacts of the Housing First initiative ([link removed] ) on health care use, Medicaid enrollment, and mortality among people experiencing chronic homelessness who had frequent arrests and jail stays.

In collaboration with the Denver Supportive Housing Social Impact Bond Initiative (SIB), Hanson and Gillespie randomly assigned study participants to receive permanent supportive housing.

The researchers find that during the two-year study period, those assigned to the Housing First intervention had “significantly more office-based care for psychiatric diagnoses, fewer ED visits, more unique prescription medications, and greater use of other health care.”
