The Importance of Context: Linking Veteran Outpatients Screening Positive for Housing Instability with Responsive Interventions.

This study aims to explore the relationship between the context of screening for housing instability and Veterans' access to services, with the goal of ensuring effective processes to address housing instability among Veterans. This study used administrative data from 100,022 Veterans' electronic medical records and qualitative data collected during in-depth interviews with 22 health care providers and six Homeless Program staff. A mixed effects logistic regression assessed the relationship between Veterans' screening experiences and connection with services; qualitative data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach to present providers' reflections on administering screening for housing instability and responding to Veterans' positive screens with needed resources.

Veterans' assignment to single-site versus scattered-site permanent supportive housing.

To address homelessness among Veterans, a growing proportion of permanent supportive housing units supported by the U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program are allocated to programs where multiple Veterans with a history of homelessness live in a particular building, referred to as single-site housing.

Supporting veterans' transitions from permanent supportive housing.

Objectives: Little research has assessed the nature of veterans' departures from permanent supportive housing (PSH), which may be of positive valence (e.g., moving into more independent housing).
