- Abstract
This paper describes the policy environments supporting housing first as an intervention for those who are homeless and mentally ill in Canada and in France. Housing first is a complex intervention that expands mental health treatment to include a focus upon housing. A recovery orientation places the consumer's choice of housing and supports at the center of the philosophy of care. The design of two, large multi-site intervention trials underway in both countries are described, noting similarities and differences related to the cultural and social context. Pragmatic trials of complex interventions have unique challenges and potential for influence, which both studies are addressing.
