PURPOSE: Youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) are vulnerable to multiple adverse health outcomes. Connecting YEH with housing is critical to addressing youth homelessness and to preventing long-term negative health consequences among this vulnerable population. Using administrative data, this study aims to explore correlates of YEH's sustainability in two major housing programs: permanent supportive housing (PSH) and rapid re-housing (RRH) programs.
METHODS: This study used Homelessness Management Information System administrative data collected from 16 communities across the U.S. between January 1, 2015 and May 1, 2017 (n = 10,902). We conducted Cox proportional hazards survival analyses to explore correlates (e.g., demographics, homeless experiences, and overall vulnerability) of YEH's PSH (n = 577) and RRH (n = 2,883) sustainability separately.
RESULTS: For YEH receiving PSH, only individuals' level of vulnerability is associated with greater hazard of exiting PSH. As for RRH sustainability, YEH who were 17 years old or younger, black or Latinx (as compared to white), of higher level of vulnerability, or previously spent most nights couch surfing or in transitional living programs (as compared to on the street) are associated with higher hazard of exiting RRH.
CONCLUSIONS: Both PSH and RRH programs should incorporate comprehensive services targeting youth experiencing high vulnerability to prevent them from re-entering homelessness. Future RRH programming should also address housing sustainability disparities faced by racial and ethnic minority YEH, especially when they are disproportionately influenced by homelessness. Finally, RRH programs should incorporate services to foster independent living among younger YEH to sustain their housing status once temporary housing subsidies expire.
