For four decades, research has proven that Housing First – an evidence-based approach based upon principles of consumer choice, harm reduction and immediate access to permanent independent housing – produces higher rates of persons exiting homelessness than any other approach that’s been studied. Yet, these results are now being challenged by the federal government.
Ben Henwood, professor, and Sam Tsemberis, who developed the Housing First approach and founded the Pathways Housing First Institute, discuss this groundbreaking model that has been at the forefront of efforts to end homelessness.
