Abstract
Objective: The present study investigated the development of homelessness among people with mental illness using the example of a growing German city.
Methods: Eight psychosocial community centres estimated how many of their clients had become homeless in the previous year of care from 2008 to 2019. A random effects negative binominal (RENB) regression model was developed to investigate the change of homelessness over time.
Results: The number of homeless, mentally ill clients of the psychosocial community centres increased significantly from 2008 to 2019 (IRR=1.26; 95-CI=1.16-1.36; p<.001). Every year, homelessness had an average increase of 26%.
Conclusion: The problem of homelessness among mentally ill people has worsened in the investigated region during the past few years. Existing support services must be assessed and community-based support services expanded.
