Brief Summary:
The study hypothesizes that early housing after hospitalization with case management integrated into the health and housing systems will results in decreased use of costly health services ie hospitalizations and Emergency Room visits with no negative affect on health To address this hypothesis the investigators implemented a Randomized controlled trial of 407 homeless adults with chronic medical illness in Chicago Eligible homeless adults were enrolled during a hospitalization to intervention - Early housing with case management - or usual care - usual case management and housing options The investigators followed the sample for 18 months with assessments at baseline 136912 and 18 months are enrollment Study measures include Quality of Life Health service use Alcohol and Substance Use housing and social and demographic characteristics
Detailed Description:
The Chicago Housing for Health Partnership CHHP was developed to meet the challenge of providing housing to the most disadvantaged homeless people in the city those with chronic illnesses who are being discharged from a hospital The program model was community based and collaboratively created and monitored by an oversight committee composed of the leadership of all involved partner agencies The CHHP was a group of 8 nonprofit agencies that provided supportive housing and 2 agencies that provided interim housing or respite care Supportive housing was defined by the intervention as housing without time limits combined with services to help participants to live more stable productive lives
To evaluate this new service model a prospective randomized trial was designed to examine the effect of supportive housing and intensive case management on health service utilization The investigators enrolled homeless patients with at least 1 of 15 chronic illnesses from 2 urban hospitals that were members of the partnership and known to have large numbers of unstably housed patients The chronic illnesses were associated with increased mortality in the homeless21 and were verified through review of physician hospital notes This trial is the health outcomes portion of CHHP
