FR test subchapter Overview
There is extensive evidence from Canada and abroad that demonstrates that, while housing stability is necessary for most youth experiencing homelessness to improve their health and life circumstances, it is not sufficient in and of itself to do so. For most, without additional wraparound supports, there is a high risk of re-entering homelessness, sustained mental and physical health challenges, social isolation, and limited success in improving quality of life in a range of areas such as employment, education, and community engagement. Interventions at the time of the transition to housing, out of homelessness, can be considered either “housing stabilization” or “tertiary prevention” – they are preventative in that they are designed to prevent a return to homelessness.
