Homelessness and incarceration share a bidirectional association: individuals experiencing homelessness are more likely to be incarcerated and former inmates are more likely to become homeless. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) programs have demonstrated positive outcomes for participants with criminal histories, yet participants continue to exit to jail or prison and experience subsequent homelessness. Using data on Veterans participating in a PSH program at 4 locations between 2011 and 2014 (N = 1,060), logistic regression was used to examine the risk factors for exiting PSH because of incarceration and returning to homelessness. Though exiting because of incarceration was uncommon, Veterans with a drug use disorder who decreased the frequency of related care over time had an increased risk for this outcome, and a history of incarceration increased Veterans' risk of experiencing ongoing homelessness. Findings can inform housing and reentry interventions which should account for participant risk factors and service needs in an effort to end the cycle of homelessness and incarceration.

无家可归与监禁存在双向关联
经历无家可归的个人更有可能被监禁,而曾经入狱的人更有可能变得无家可归。永久性支持性住房(PSH)项目已证明对有犯罪史的参与者有积极成效,但参与者仍会离开项目进入监狱,随后再度经历无家可归。利用2011年至2014年间在4个地点参与PSH项目的退伍军人数据(N = 1060),采用逻辑回归分析因监禁而离开PSH项目并重新陷入无家可归状态的风险因素。尽管因监禁而离开项目的情况并不常见,但随着时间推移减少相关护理频率的患有药物使用障碍的退伍军人出现这种结果的风险增加,且有监禁史会增加退伍军人持续无家可归的风险。研究结果可为住房和重新融入社会干预措施提供参考,这些措施应考虑参与者的风险因素和服务需求,以努力终结无家可归与监禁的循环。(PsycINFO数据库记录)
