  • Housing First Checklist: Assessing Projects and Systems for a Housing First Orientation
    Updated September 2016 Housing First Checklist: Assessing Projects and Systems for a Housing First Orientation Housing First is a proven approach, applicable across all elements of systems for ending homelessness, in which people experiencing homelessness are connected to permanent housing swiftly and with few to no treatment preconditions, behavioral contingencies, or other barriers. It is based on overwhelming evidence that people experiencing homelessness can achieve stability in permanent housing if provided with the appropriate level of services. Study after study has shown that Housing First yields higher housing retention rates, drives significant reductions in the use of costly crisis services and institutions, and helps people achieve better health and social outcomes.i This checklist was designed to help you make a quick assessment of whether and to what degree housing programs — and entire systems — are employing a Housing First approach. Robust tools and instruments are available elsewhere to quantitatively measure program quality and fidelity to Housing First. This tool is not meant to take the place of those more rigorous assessments, but is intended to help Continuums of Care, individual housing and services providers, funders, and other stakeholders to communicate about, and quickly assess, alignment with key Housing First approaches.

  • Can Housing First Work for Youth? Stephen Gaetz
    Part C _ Think Pieces 159 Can Housing First Work for Youth? Stephen Gaetz Faculty of Education, York University, Toronto, Canada Canadian Observatory on Homelessness >> Abstract_ Housing First has emerged as an effective and humane approach to addressing homelessness. In spite of the strength of the evidence, questions remain regarding the applicability of Housing First to sub-populations, including youth. The proposed framework for Housing First for Youth outlined here is intended to provide a starting point for communities, policy-makers and practitioners interested in applying the model to adolescents and young adults, recognising that different national and local contexts present both unique challenges but also opportunities. Housing First does not promise or pretend to be the only approach to addressing youth homelessness. However, it can and should become an important intervention that supports, and in turn is supported by, other preventive and early intervention strategies, short term emergency supports, and so on. >> Keywords_ Housing First, youth, key principles Introduction Housing First has emerged as an effective and humane approach to addressing homelessness. Internationally, there has been debate over its potential for adapta- tion and application in different national contexts based on the recognition that social and housing policy varies widely between countries and on concerns about how the concept has been interpreted and implemented. The case for Housing First has been bolstered, however, by a large volume of research that attests to its efficacy, including the highly successful At Home/Chez Soi project from Canada. The breadth and rigour of this research makes Housing First one of the few home- lessness interventions that can be truly deemed a ‘best practice’.

  • Study: Supportive Housing Programs for Chronically Homeless Lower Health Care Costs
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Greg Turner, Ball Consulting Group, LLC Phone: 508-380-1217; Email: [email protected] Study: Supportive Housing Programs for Chronically Homeless Lower Health Care Costs BOSTON (Dec. 22, 2020) – The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation released a research report today demonstrating the effectiveness of supportive housing programs in reducing total health care costs for medical services provided by MassHealth (the Massachusetts Medicaid program) to chronically homeless individuals. The study examined Housing First models administered by the Massachusetts Housing & Shelter Alliance (MHSA). Researchers integrated claims data for a group of individuals, comparing expenditures before and after the provision of supportive housing services and with a control group of similar individuals who did not receive Housing First services. Most of the Housing First participants in this study were enrolled in the Community Support Program for People Experiencing Chronic Homelessness (CSPECH), a Medicaid-funded program that provides community-based support services for chronically homeless individuals in Massachusetts. Key findings of the study include: • Individuals enrolled in permanent supportive housing programs had significantly lower per-person, per-year health care costs on average, compared with the cohort that didn’t receive such services. • Individuals in the programs received significantly more mental health services but the cost was more than offset by lower utilization of inpatient and emergency department

Is a House Always a Home?: A Survey of Homelessness Laws By: Marlei English1 March 6, 2020 Homelessness is a plague that spares no country, yet not a single country has cured it. The type of legislation regarding homelessness in a country seems to correlate with the severity of its homelessness problem. The highly-variative approaches taken by each country when passing their legislation can be roughly divided into two categories: aid-based laws and criminalization laws. Analyzing how these homelessness laws affect the homeless community in each country can be an important step in understanding what can truly lead to finding the “cure” for homelessness rather than just applying temporary fixes. I. Introduction to the Homelessness Problem Homelessness is not a new issue, but it is a current, and pressing issue.2 In fact, it is estimated that at least 150 million individuals are homeless.3 That is about two percent of the population on Earth.4 Furthermore, an even larger 1.6 billion individuals may be living without adequate housing.5 While these statistics are startling, the actual number of individuals living without a home could be even larger because these are just the reported and observable numbers.

  • Hc3.2. National Strategies for Combating Homelessness
    OECD Affordable Housing Database – http://oe.cd/ahd OECD Directorate of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs - Social Policy Division HC3.2. NATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR COMBATING HOMELESSNESS Definitions and methodology This indicator presents an overview of strategies and major legislation tackling homelessness at the national and regional level, as reported by OECD, key partner and EU countries responding to the 2021 and 2019 OECD Questionnaire on Social and Affordable Housing (QuASH), and other sources. Homelessness strategies are defined as policy documents setting out targets and actions to tackle homelessness, requiring links across policy sectors. Further discussion of homelessness can be found in the OECD Policy Brief, Better data and policies to fight homelessness in the OECD, available online (and in French). Key findings Fewer than half of countries have an active national strategy to combat homelessness, while some have regional and/or local strategies in place According to the OECD Questionnaire on Affordable and Social Housing, 21 of 45 countries report having an active homelessness strategy in place: Canada, Chile, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, and the United States (Table HC3.2.1). The United Kingdom has separate homelessness strategies across the constituent countries of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In a number of countries, homelessness strategies ran through 2020; due to COVID-19, the updating of such strategies was likely postponed as policy makers focused on implementing on-the-ground solutions to support the homeless population during the pandemic (see Table HC3.2.2) .

  • Housing First—The Benefits and Problems by Dionne Miazdyck-Shield
    Housing First—The Benefits and Problems By Dionne Miazdyck-Shield Housing First, what is it exactly? The term is used very loosely as the opposite of traditional services for homeless people (emergency shelters, transitional programs). There are ambitious claims made about ending homelessness and saving tax-payers money through using a Housing First approach. I wanted to understand Housing First, the research, benefits, problems, who it works for and how it could be applied in Saskatoon. Here is what I found out. Housing First (HF) has two different, but connected meanings.1 Housing First is an intensive, clinical intervention program developed specifically for chronically street homeless individuals with a mental illness that originated in New York (Pathways to Housing). This program prioritizes permanent housing as a right and self-determination, and the only expectations are that clients pay some income towards their rent and that they talk to an outreach worker or case manager weekly. Earlier program versions were implemented elsewhere with less intensive supports2. In Toronto, Houselink placed people in housing without requiring treatment first as they left institutions in the 1970s. The term “Housing First” was actually coined in Los Angeles with the program Beyond Shelter that rapidly rehoused families at risk of homelessness. Housing First is a general philosophy of providing homeless/at-risk people with permanent housing, first, without a requirement of sobriety or compliance, respecting their choice about where they want to live and promoting health and wellbeing. Many different types of services or programs could be based on this ‘rapid rehousing’ or ‘housing led’ philosophy for a broader range of people.

  • Holding on to the Past, Preparing for the Future: Heritage and Depots in Times of Crisis and Transformation Dr
    CODART TWINTIG Warsaw, 21-23 May 2017 – Keynote Lecture 22 May Holding on to the Past, Preparing for the Future: Heritage and Depots in Times of Crisis and Transformation Dr. David Duindam, Lecturer at the University of Amsterdam Full text I would like to thank the organizers for the invitation to speak to you today.i The fact that we are standing in Warsaw is not something we can take for granted. The capital of Poland was almost completely destroyed during World War II. Much of the city was badly damaged during armed conflicts, not unlike other European cities. What was unique in the case of Warsaw was the fact that the Nazis had planned this urbicide before the war as part of their goal to completely efface Polish life and culture. After the Nazis had crushed the Polish resistance in 1944, special forces were put in charge to burn down remaining buildings with a special focus on culturally significant sites. There was no military aim: it was a form of cultural genocide. When the city was liberated, 85% of the historic center was gone. One can ask how to deal with so much emptiness; but one can also ask how to deal with such an excessive amount of history. There was some talk of relocating the city altogether, but in the end it was decided to meticulously reconstruct the historic center with the help of archives and paintings. There is an intimate relationship between the words excess and access. The theme of this congress is the role of storage facilities in light of the cornucopian excess of art objects.

  • Housing First in Canada: a New Approach to Homelessness And
    RUNNING HEAD: Housing First in Canada Housing First in Canada: A New Approach to Homelessness and Best Practices for Municipal Implementation MPA Research Report Submitted to The Local Government Program Department of Political Science The University of Western Ontario Michelle (Shelly) Steffler July 2016 RUNNING HEAD: Housing First in Canada 1 Abstract This paper examines the Housing First approach to homelessness, which provides people living on the street with permanent homes before offering them optional supports. This stands in stark contrast to the traditional approach to housing, where people need to meet preconditions, such as sobriety, before being assisted to obtain housing. This paper examines the history, causes, and impact of homelessness, and the rise of Housing First in Canada. It uses case studies from Medicine Hat and Toronto to explore the implementation of Housing First in two Canadian cities. The paper concludes by providing best practices and offering cautions for municipalities considering Housing First. The case studies indicate that data collection, stakeholder engagement, a systems approach, and support from all levels of government are important components for any municipality considering Housing First.

  • The Tangible and Intangible Afterlife of Architectural Heritage Destroyed by Acts of War
    REBUILDING TO REMEMBER, REBUILDING TO FORGET: THE TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE AFTERLIFE OF ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE DESTROYED BY ACTS OF WAR by LAUREN J. KANE A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Art History, Cultural Heritage and Preservation Studies written under the direction of Dr. Tod Marder and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Rebuilding to Remember, Rebuilding to Forget: The Tangible and Intangible Afterlife of Architectural Heritage Destroyed by Acts of War by LAUREN J. KANE Thesis Director: Dr. Tod Marder Aggressors have often attacked sites of valued architectural heritage, believing such destruction will demoralize the targeted nation’s people and irreversibly shake the foundations of the marginalized culture. Of architectural structures that have been specifically targeted and fell victim to enemy attacks over the past decades however, many have been rebuilt in some capacity. This study considers the cases of Old Town Warsaw, the Stari Most in Mostar, and the former World Trade Center site in New York City to understand the ways in which local citizens engaged with the monuments tangible presence and intangible spirit prior to acts of aggression, during the monuments’ physical destruction, and throughout the process of rebuilding. From this analysis, it is concluded that while the rebuilding of valued sites of architectural heritage often reaffirms a culture’s resilience, there is no universal way to deal with the aftermath of the destruction of built heritage.
