- Comparison of housing first and traditional homeless service users in eight european countries: Protocol for a mixed methods, Multi-site studyPublication . Greenwood, Ronni Michelle; Manning, Rachel; O'Shaughnessy, Branagh R.; Cross, Oisin; Moniz, Maria João Vargas; Auquier, Pascal; Santinello, Massimo; Wolf, Judith R; Bokszczanin, Anna; Bernad, Roberto; Källmen, Håkan; Spinnewijn, Frederik; Ornelas, JoséHomeless services expend considerable resources to provide for service users' most basic needs, such as food and shelter, but their track record for ending homelessness is disappointing. An alternative model, Housing First, reversed the order of services so that homeless individuals are offered immediate access to independent housing, with wraparound supports but no treatment or abstinence requirements. Although the evidence base for Housing First's effectiveness in ending homelessness is robust, less is known about its effectiveness in promoting recovery.
