The relationship between personal choice and mental health recovery in the context of supported housing has not been explored. To gain an understanding of how choice facilitates recovery processes in supported housing environments for those with serious mental illness (SMI). Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with 24 tenants with SMI living in supported housing. Choice while living in supported housing was a large contributor to wellbeing and mental health recovery. Tenants valued three domains of choice: (1) choosing to be responsible for one's life, (2) choosing how to organize one's social life and (3) choices that make them feel "at home". This is one of the first studies on choice and recovery for persons who have transitioned to supported housing. Findings reveal the need for research to move beyond focusing on choice of housing (e.g. housing type) and explore the scope and relevance of choice in housing.
在支持性住房环境中，个人选择与心理健康恢复之间的关系尚未得到探索。为了了解选择如何促进有严重精神疾病（SMI）的人在支持性住房环境中的康复过程。对 24 名居住在支持性住房中的有 SMI 的租户进行了定性深入访谈。在支持性住房中生活时的选择是幸福感和心理健康恢复的重要因素。租户重视选择的三个领域：（1）选择对自己的生活负责，（2）选择如何组织自己的社交生活，（3）让他们感到“宾至如归”的选择。这是第一项关于过渡到支持性住房的人选择和康复的研究之一。研究结果表明，有必要进行研究，超越对住房选择（例如住房类型）的关注，并探讨住房中选择的范围和相关性。
