Abstract

Compared to their non-homeless peers, chronically homeless adults are much more likely to have a history of incarceration. In turn, homelessness is associated with increased morbidity, lack of access to adequate healthcare services, and decreased life expectancy. This study investigates whether age at first incarceration is associated with age at first homeless experience and with lifetime duration of literal homelessness. Study participants are homeless adults entering permanent supportive housing (PSH) in Los Angeles County, California, that have experienced incarceration prior to their first experience of homelessness (n = 230). Multivariate linear regressions were conducted to determine association between age at first incarceration with: 1) age at first literal homelessness and 2) lifetime duration of literal homelessness. Results indicate that incarceration as a juvenile, and young adult is significantly associated with earlier literal homelessness experiences and may be associated with longer durations of literal homelessness, for adults entering PSH. Moreover, women incarcerated as juveniles and entering PSH first experienced literal homelessness earlier than comparable men. Our findings suggest the need for long-term supportive services for persons incarcerated before 25 years old, especially for women. Moreover, these findings refine the working knowledge that prior incarceration increases risk for prolonged homelessness and can help agencies complete more accurate risk assessments.

监禁的时间是否会影响无家可归的时间和持续时间?“向住房过渡”研究的证据

摘要

与非无家可归的同龄人相比,长期无家可归的成年人更有可能有被监禁的历史。反过来,无家可归与发病率增加、无法获得足够的医疗保健服务以及预期寿命缩短有关。本研究调查首次入狱年龄是否与首次无家可归经历的年龄以及实际无家可归的终生持续时间相关。研究参与者是进入加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县永久支持性住房 (PSH) 的无家可归成年人,他们在第一次无家可归经历之前曾被监禁 (n = 230)。进行多变量线性回归以确定首次入狱年龄与以下因素之间的关联:1) 首次无家可归的年龄和 2) 无家可归的终生持续时间。结果表明,对于进入 PSH 的成年人来说,作为少年和年轻人被监禁与早期的无家可归经历显着相关,并且可能与更长的无家可归持续时间有关。此外,作为少年被监禁并进入 PSH 的女性比同等男性更早地经历了真正的无家可归。我们的研究结果表明,需要为 25 岁之前被监禁的人,尤其是女性提供长期支持服务。此外,这些发现提炼了工作知识,即先前的监禁会增加长期无家可归的风险,并可以帮助机构完成更准确的风险评估。对于进入 PSH 的成年人来说,年轻人与早期的无家可归经历显着相关,并且可能与更长时间的无家可归有关。此外,作为少年被监禁并进入 PSH 的女性比同等男性更早地经历了真正的无家可归。我们的研究结果表明,需要为 25 岁之前被监禁的人,尤其是女性提供长期支持服务。此外,这些发现提炼了工作知识,即先前的监禁会增加长期无家可归的风险,并可以帮助机构完成更准确的风险评估。对于进入 PSH 的成年人来说,年轻人与早期的无家可归经历显着相关,并且可能与更长时间的无家可归有关。此外,作为少年被监禁并进入 PSH 的女性比同等男性更早地经历了真正的无家可归。我们的研究结果表明,需要为 25 岁之前被监禁的人,尤其是女性提供长期支持服务。此外,这些发现提炼了工作知识,即先前的监禁会增加长期无家可归的风险,并可以帮助机构完成更准确的风险评估。我们的研究结果表明,需要为 25 岁之前被监禁的人,尤其是女性提供长期支持服务。此外,这些发现提炼了工作知识,即先前的监禁会增加长期无家可归的风险,并可以帮助机构完成更准确的风险评估。我们的研究结果表明,需要为 25 岁之前被监禁的人,尤其是女性提供长期支持服务。此外,这些发现提炼了工作知识,即先前的监禁会增加长期无家可归的风险,并可以帮助机构完成更准确的风险评估。
