The Impact of Supportive Housing for Homeless People With Severe Mental Illness on the Utilization of the Public Health, Corrections, and Emergency Shelter Systems: The New York-New York Initiative
Description:
Data on 4,679 homeless people with severe mental disorders placed in supportive housing in New York City between 1989 and 1997 were merged with administrative data on the utilization of public shelters, public hospitals, Medicaid-funded services, veterans’ inpatient services, State psychiatric inpatient services, State prisons, and the city’s jails. A series of matched controls who were concurrently homeless but were not placed in housing were similarly tracked through administrative records.
