A longitudinal study followed 55 homeless & severely mentally ill clients of a Toronto (Ontario) hostel outreach program to assess outcomes & their relationship to program elements, drawing on 1989/90 observation, case manager & staff reports, case records, & interview & scale data. Results at 18-month follow-up indicated that, despite chronic histories of transiency & shelter use, housing stability had been achieved, & that initial gains in social functioning & symptom reduction had been increased. Development of a strong working alliance proved a key program element in the findings. 3 Tables, 1 Figure, 44 References. Adapted from the source document
