This research was guided by a compensated study steering committee made up of diverse
stakeholders knowledgeable of PSH exits through professional and lived expertise. The fiveperson committee was comprised of a current PSH participant, a PSH alum, a PSH provider, a former administrator of a “Moving On” initiative that facilitated PSH exits, and a PSH policy expert from the Corporation for Supportive Housing. This committee advised the study team on selection of relevant variables for the analyses and the interpretation of findings. Committee members were also invited to contribute to the development of dissemination products and the dissemination strategy.
A two-state, population-level dataset of matched Homelessness Management Information
System (HMIS) data, Medicaid claims, and affordable housing data from New Jersey and
Pennsylvania4 was used to examine the following research questions:
1. What are the characteristics of people who exit PSH?
2. What factors are associated with exiting PSH to “successful” and “unsuccessful” destinations?
3. What are the housing and healthcare utilization outcomes of people who exit PSH?
Key findings from this analysis are presented in this report.
