註釋
Some homeless adults, youth, and families require support as well as housing to stabilize their lives, perhaps due to histories of abusive treatment, addictions, mental health problems, or lack of employment skills. Transitional housing is intended to offer a supportive living environment and tools and opportunities for social and skills development. The overall objective of transitional housing is to provide people with the structure and support they need to address critical issues necessary to maintain permanent housing and maximize self-sufficiency. At a minimum, it is hoped that program 'graduates' will not use the emergency shelter system or become homeless again. Several federal government programs are funding the development of new transitional housing projects to address homelessness, but there is little research that assesses the effectiveness of this model. This report is based on a review of the literature focused on the program objectives, indicators of success, and outcomes of transitional housing, as well as nine case studies. Appended to the report is a partial inventory of more than 75 transitional housing projects across Canada.
