The primary outcomes were housing stability (as defined by a joint function of number of days housed and number of moves) and improvement in community functioning. Participants were interviewed every 3 months over 21/24 months to investigate changes on a range of housing and psychosocial outcomes. The research design was a parallel group non-blinded RCT with participants randomly assigned after the baseline interview to receive HF with ACT ( N = 100) or treatment as usual (TAU N = 101). The paper presents two-year findings from a study investigating the effectiveness of Housing First (HF) with assertive community treatment (ACT) in helping individuals with serious mental illness, who are homeless or precariously housed and living in a small city, to become stably housed.
