This study explored the social network properties and the correlates between social networks and subjective wellbeing of adults (N = 80) in a Housing First (HF) program. Using structured interviews, participants’ social network properties were assessed. Bivariate correlations and backward multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the association between social networks and subjective wellbeing. Findings indicate a combination of years of homelessness, years in housing, frequency of contact, intimate relationship, and perceived social support significantly predicted subjective wellbeing (F (5, 74) = 2.74, p = 0.025). While perceived social support was positively associated with subjective wellbeing, frequency of contact was negatively associated with subjective wellbeing. It is recommended that service providers develop strengths-focused perspectives of the social networks of HF residents as potential contributors to subjective wellbeing. Service providers may need to pay more attention to HF residents with frequent contacts with network members, as they may have more distress.

住房优先计划中成年人的社交网络和主观幸福感

 本研究探讨了住房优先 (HF) 计划中的社交网络属性以及社交网络与成人 ( N = 80) 的主观幸福感之间的相关性。使用结构化访谈，评估参与者的社交网络属性。进行双变量相关性和反向多元回归分析以确定社交网络与主观幸福感之间的关联。研究结果表明，无家可归年限、住房年限、接触频率、亲密关系和感知社会支持显着预测主观幸福感 ( F (5, 74) = 2.74, p = 0.025)。虽然感知到的社会支持与主观幸福感呈正相关，但接触频率与主观幸福感呈负相关。建议服务提供者发展 HF 居民社交网络的优势观点，作为主观幸福感的潜在贡献者。服务提供者可能需要更多地关注与网络成员频繁接触的 HF 居民，因为他们可能会有更多的痛苦。
