Abstract(s)
A presente investigação analisa as mudanças na vida de pessoas com experiência de semabrigo,
após estarem há mais de um ano inseridas no projecto Housing First. Estas mudanças
focam-se na integração na comunidade e na existência de sentimento de pertença.
Neste estudo utilizou-se um metódo qualitativo, tendo sido realizadas entrevistas a dez
pessoas com experiência de sem-abrigo. Com estas pretendemos perceber as mudanças
experienciadas pelos entrevistados, depois de terem adquirido uma habitação individualizada.
Os resultados deste estudo revelam que a obtenção de uma casa possibilita as pessoas a
pensarem num futuro diferente e deste modo melhorar diversas áreas da sua vida. Das mudanças
identificadas percepcionamos, a capacidade de realizar rotinas, controlar os consumos de
substâncias e a existência de notáveis melhorias a nível da saúde. Para além disto, o ter uma casa
permite que consigam alargar a sua rede social e ter uma melhor integração na comunidade.
Com o programa Housing First, o sentir-se parte da comunidade é algo que parece ser
concretizável.
