- Abstract
Housing programs are complex social interventions. Research on housing for people with mental illness has proceeded without a framework for integrating emerging findings and guiding new research directions. This paper describes a definition and model of housing stability developed with stakeholders in 3 local housing systems for people with mental illness. The model describes housing stability as a dynamic relationship among 3 factors (person, housing, and support) that are influenced by broader system influences. The model is discussed in terms of its usefulness for integrating existing research, guiding new research, and integrating research with practice to improve housing practices.
