Summary

The HWVP, which strove to improve health, mental health, and psychosocial outcomes of program participants, provided case management services and mental health residential treatment (RT) to women veterans who were homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

The HWVP provided case management services and mental health RT to women veterans who were homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The study authors defined RT as “a program that houses clients in a central location and provides clinical and social services to the clients while they are resident[s].” The program was implemented in eleven Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers across the United States. The specific clinical and rehabilitation services varied by center, though all provided stable, safe housing and support from professional staff. Study participants who received at least 30 days of RT treatment were compared with study participants who received 0 to 29 days of RT treatment.
