Abstract

This study aims to investigate whether a working alliance could represent a potential mechanism that explains the effectiveness of housing services in terms of user recovery, comparing the Housing First (HF) model with Traditional Services (TS). This study included 59 homeless service users in Italy (29 = HF; 30 = TS). Recovery was assessed upon entering the study (T0) and after 10 months (T1). Results indicate that participants inserted in HF services were more likely to report stronger working alliances with social service providers at T0 that, in turn, was directly associated with higher levels of users' recovery at the beginning of the study and indirectly (through recovery at T0) with recovery at T1. Implications of the results are discussed with respect to research and practice on homeless services.

无家可归者在住房优先和传统服务中的康复:工作联盟在意大利住房服务中的作用

本研究旨在通过比较住房优先(HF)模型与传统服务(TS)模型，探讨一个工作联盟是否可以代表一种潜在的机制，解释住房服务在用户恢复方面的有效性。这项研究包括意大利59名无家可归的服务使用者(29 = HF;30 = ts)。在进入研究时(T0)和10个月后(T1)评估恢复情况。结果表明，参与高频服务的参与者更有可能在T0时与社会服务提供者建立更强的工作联盟，这反过来又与研究开始时更高水平的用户恢复直接相关，并间接(通过T0时的恢复)与T1时的恢复相关。研究结果对无家可归者服务的研究和实践意义进行了讨论。
