Housing First works. We have tons of evidence to support it. The problem is--we don't have the housing. The soln: we need to preserve, protect, produce housing for the lowest income renters. Happy to talk to @BigadShaban @nbcbayarea about the evidence. 1/x
Discussed our eval study w @mravenEM @DSTNHome @SCCgov @abode_services @ucsfbhhi which showed that even the "hardest to house" ppl could be housed FOR YEARS w/o preconditions 2/x

We gave Abode, SCC a list of the folks who were homeless who faced the most challenges (⬆️use of hospitals, ED, jail, psych, etc)--and randomly assigned folks to Housing First Permanent Supportive Housing w "intensive case management"--a master's trained counselor (e.g. LCSW) 3/x

A🧵about #COVID vaccines. The @ucsfbhhi has spent last several mos working w great partners to provide vax to folks in the Tenderloin--including those who are homeless/formerly homeless. After providing 2500+vax to folks who face many barriers to vaccines--some thoughts: 1/x Bright mural on wall, tree holding homes with inscription: E
We talk alot about vax "hesitancy" but--we found, access>>>hesitancy. We had small, local sites (@GLIDEsf & Boeddeker Park)--with great outreach/ no appts needed. Helpful for those who couldn't get to mass vax sites. Reached 100s of folx, but not enough: So, what worked? 2/X Sunny day, blue topped tends on city street with ppl in them
Mobile teams! Teams, led by the incredible @codetenderloin --ppl w deep roots in community, lived expertise--w MD/NP or RN & "scribe." Teams walked around neighborhood and vaccinated folks wherever we found them. We answered ?s, supported ppls' choices--& when ready--vaxxed 3/X Ppl. casually dressed, masks--cart with bright pink sign &qu

This policy change is v problematic. Don't be fooled by talk of ⬆️mental health. The reason homelessness has ⬆️ is bc the fundamental drivers of homelessness: income inequality, lack of deeply affordable ("ELI") housing & racism-- have worsened. A 🧵 1/x

Housing First has a strong evidence base. Our recent study showed it successfully housed 86% of the "most difficult" to house chronically homeless ppl w high rates of substance use and mental health disabilities. hsr.org/node/664701 2/x

Our paper, RCT on PSH for the highest user of healthcare is out @HSR_HRET. PSH w/ intensive case management ends homelessness for 86% of the highest users of multiple services. A lot of subtlety here. A 🧵@mravenEM @ucsfcvp @ucsfbhhi @ucsf onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… 1/x
Multi-year RCT comparing PSH (subsidized housing, mostly scattered site; ICM 1:15 master’s trained led team by @abode_services) vs usual care for chronically homeless ppl who were highest users of acute healthcare/jail in @sccgov 423 participants (199 intervent/224 control). 2x
Inclusions: chronic homelessness; highest users of services. Ineligible: engagement other program, req nursing home, hospice eligible. We created risk score/triage tool to calculate highest users (mult criteria). Triage tool calculated continuously & flagged in records. 3/x

Must read editorial in @nytimes on #homelessness that lays out the problem, where blame lays, & solution--"The fed govt could render homelessness rare, brief & nonrecurring. The cure for homelessness is housing." (YES!) A thread 1/x @BCAppelbaum

nytimes.com/2020/05/15/opi…
1. Problem is housing (not individual vulnerabilities) 2. Federal govt (& realistically, only Fed) could solve it 3. Instead, feds heavily subsidize wealthy homeowners, instead of low-income (mortgage interest tax deduction means homeowners live in deeply subsidized housing) 2/x
4. We spend $12 Billion a yr on shelters (shelters are dangerous, difficult places (#COVID19 has made this more evident cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/6… , but as CA Gov @GavinNewsom says: "shelters solve sleep, housing solves homelessness) & 1/3 (in CA 2/3) unsheltered) despite $12B 3/x
