A longitudinal study of housing for mental health consumer-survivors

7 May 2009

Anne Westhues, Wilfrid Laurier University This project was funded by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) under the terms of the External Research Program, but the views expressed are the personal views of the authors and do not represent the official views of CMHC. [...] Those who did identify negative aspects identified the meal plan at the high support model and the lack of interaction at the low support model. [...] This project is tracking, over the course of three years, the progress of participants of the new housing programs and comparing the outcomes of the two programs and tenants’ satisfaction with them. [...] Thus, the highest score for taking medication as prescribed was 100 and the lowest was 0. At baseline, the mean score for medication was 96.3 and the median 100 (sd=9.05). [...] In discussing the community atmosphere, participants noted the importance of their housing being long-term, of the relationships with other tenants that help to ensure they don’t get lonely, of the opportunities for employment, and of the overall friendly atmosphere.
