The Relationship Between Hope, Housing Type, and Housing Characteristics Among Individuals With Dual Diagnoses

The current study examined whether individuals with dual diagnoses in different types of housing experience different levels of hope and whether hope is related to certain housing characteristics. A total of 87 participants (65 in residential programs and 22 in independent apartments) responded to questionnaires about hope and current housing arrangements. Hope did not vary by housing type or housing characteristics. Clients in group housing may have as much hope as clients in apartments. Replication and future study is needed to better understand the relationship between housing and hope. (Authors)
