|a In 2015, over 106,000 individuals experienced high rates of homelessness and were diagnosed with severe mental illnesses (SMIs). This study explored the characteristics of 107 adults receiving homeless services from The Lord’s Place, Inc. (TLP) between 2011 and 2015 and who also obtained housing stability. The Lord’s Place, Inc. (TLP), a non-sectarian non-profit in South Florida, provided the data for this research. The research explored the relationship between the independent variables race, motivation to change, completion of employment training, the utilization of social supports and outcomes on the initial and final Functional Assessment Rating Scale (FARS) to the dependent variable of housing stability at months 6, 12, 18 and 24, post exit. The study showed an 84% housing stability rate as opposed to the national rates range of 25 – 75%. The only statistical significance was demonstrated between the low initial FARS and housing stability (x2= 7.589, df = 1, p = .011) and low final FARS and housing stability (x2= 6.371, df = 1, p = .017). The findings, while significant, are not generalizable to the larger population due to anomalies in the collection of the data as well as the fact that it utilized a single source data. None of the other independent variables were predictive of the characteristics of individuals diagnosed with SMIs who also obtained housing stability. |
