The CMHS Housing Initiative for Persons with Serious Mental Illness has examined the "fidelity" of supported housing and other housing approaches in its cross-site study of housing for persons living with serious mental illness. The results suggest that there is both a range of supported housing implemented and that some approaches in the residential continuum incorporate many of the features of supported housing. Following a presentation on the final cross-site outcome results comparing supported housing to the comparison housing models, this presentation will highlight the results of models that examine the predictive value of the fidelity information on the outcomes. Using baseline, 3, 6, and 12-month data from the six study sites, analyses will be presented that use both hierarchical linear modeling and structural equation modeling in examining changes in residential stability, mental health functioning, psychiatric hospitalization and other critical incidents, consumer empowerment, housing satisfaction, isolation and community integration, and quality of life. Outcome effects at 18 months will also be examined for a sub-sample of the people in the study. A comparison of these findings to those from the first presentation will also be discussed.
