Debra J. Rog, PhD, Vanderbilt Institute for Public Policy Studies, 1915 I Street, NW, Suite 600, Washington, DC 20006, 202-833-3512, debra.j.rog@vanderbilt.edu

This presentation will highlight interim (six month) findings on key proximal outcomes – residential stability (early drop-out from housing), critical incidents (emergency room use, days hospitalized/institutionalized, involvement with the criminal justice system), empowerment, housing satisfaction, and isolation/community integration. Analyses examining the predictive value of the key dimensions of housing will be presented. This set of analyses provides an opportunity to look across all housing programs and determine what “active ingredients” produce the different outcomes. The session will end with a discussion of the early implications of the findings from a consumer perspective. A representative from the consumer panel will serve as the discussant.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to: 1. Describe how "active ingredients" can be identified in a program. 2. Discuss the "active ingredients" identified to date in the Supportive Housing Initiative

Keywords: Housing, Homelessness
