Abstract:

Due to the deinstitutionalization movement, many mentally ill individuals have left asylum treatment centers and have had no safe housing. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to explore the attitudes and opinions of homeless, mentally ill people regarding the community resources they consume and how they perceive and navigate those resources. The research questions focused on homeless, mentally ill individuals' shared experiences accessing health care, psychiatric care, and housing services as well as, barriers that impacted homeless, mentally ill individuals' use of these services, and their needs to address these barriers. Data were collected using face to face, semi structured interviews with 12 homeless individuals. The thematic analysis consisted of open and axial coding. Axial coding was used to assign and like categories and subcategories of codes according to their properties and dimensions. Emergent patterns were identified from the data to explain the lived experiences of mentally ill homeless people and their opinion and attitudes towards navigating of mentally ill homeless programs. The responses expressed the needs that were unmet: lack of mental health assistance, food needs, hygiene needs, safety concerns and survival needs. In order to make positive social change outreach predicated on increasing clear communication between outreach workers and the homeless mentally ill allows for developing a trusting relationship necessary in establishing contact and credibility in providing on going impactful treatment for the homeless mentally ill population.

Full text
Abstract:
Discharge planning for hospitalized chronically mentally ill usually involves only verbal descriptions of community residential options. Psychosis often impairs ability to conceptualize abstract information, and quality of the choice process may be poor without describing options in concrete form, i.e., using written descriptions and photographs. A random sample (N= 90) of Dammasch State Hospital (Wilsonville, Oregon) patient population, comprising persons diagnosed schizophrenic, schizoaffective, organic mental disorder, and bipolar, were assigned to three treatment groups, asked to rank six community residential options suited for them when they were ready to leave the hospital. The three treatment groups were presented the same set of residential options, but the manner of presentation of options was manipulated: first group received verbal descriptions, second group received verbal descriptions with placards containing printed highlights of descriptions, third group received verbal descriptions, printed descriptions, and five photographs of each type of residential option. After ranking the options, respondents were asked how difficult it was to make their choices: very difficult, kind of difficult, not very difficult. Finally, an open-ended question was asked, "What guided you in making your choices?" Respondents' social workers were asked to rank same six residential options for each respondent. Chisquare and Kruskal-Wallis tests were computed for treatment groups-by-respondents' choices for first through sixth choice with no significance found. "Difficulty of Choice"by- treatment group analyses found no significance using Kruskal-Wallis test, and trend toward significance using chi-square. Content analysis of open-ended question, "What guided you ..• " yielded seven categories of answers, and chi-square of "What guided you"-by-respondents' first choice of residential setting was significant. "Experience" and "Privacy and Independence" were most influential factors from content analysis, but only trends toward significance were found in chi-square, cross-tabulating them by treatment group. Since cross-tabulation of respondents'-by-social workers' choices showed no significance, six rankings were collapsed into three and significance was found for supported housing option (respondents and social workers choosing it in common third or fourth) for total sample. Other significance was found in verbal treatment group for homeless shelter (chosen in common fifth or sixth), and for supported housing (chosen in common third or fourth). Rank correlations of respondents' and social workers' choices for total sample found significant negative relationship for room and board option. Rank correlations of choices by treatment group found significant negative relationship for room and board in the verbal treatment group; found significant positive relationship for residential care facility in the verbal/written treatment group; found significant negative relationship for room and board option in the verbal/written/visual treatment group. Abstraction deficits evidently do no affect the way chronically mentally ill persons choose residential options. The chronically mentally ill also do not find choosing a residential placement any more or less difficult given the presentation of written and visual descriptions in addition to verbal description. Given excess of "not very difficult" answers to "difficulty" question, validity of "difficulty" question to detect quality of choice process is questionable. Better outcome question may have been, "How satisfied are you with you choices?". Given distribution of respondents' and social workers' choices, compromise between independent living and residential care facility is suggested in choice of supported housing program.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The basic premise underlying this research is the ability to gain a deeper understanding of a person with a mental illness, and more specifically the residents living in a supported housing facility. It is significant for social workers to establish a basic profile of the individual in order to understand and realize the resident's specific I?-eeds.The aim of the study is to present a description of the personal needs, capacities and socio-emotional functioning of a mentally ill person living in a supported housing facility. The research report includes identifying the personal needs and capacities of people with a mental illness living in a supported housing facility. This comprises of aspects applicable to the daily living conditions and lifestyles of people with a mental illness residing in such a care facility, including needs and concerns, capacities, strengths and limitations and the role of the family in the individual's life. The report also investigates the social welfare services essential in the intervention and rehabilitation of people living in a supported housing facility, by utilizing various perspectives applicable to social workers. The empirical study consisted of using a quantitative method in order to explore the pragmatic aspect of the study, which would allow an investigation into the nature of the needs, capacities and socio-emotional functioning of people with a mental illness living in a supported housing facility. Information was gathered by means of a questionnaire and subsequently analysed in order to attain valid conclusions from the research. These fmdings were consequently noted, and conclusions and recommendations drawn. The fmdings of this research can be used as guidelines for social workers and other social welfare practitioners working with people with a mental illness.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie is daarop gemik om 'n beter begrip te ontwikkel van geestesiekes, en in besonder die inwoners van 'n ondersteunde behuisingsfasiliteit. Dit is van groot belang vir maatskaplike werkers ten einde 'n basiese profiel van die individu saam te stel en sodoende die inwoner se spesifieke behoeftes te verstaan en te bevredig. Die doelwit van die studie is om 'n beskrywing van die persoonlike behoeftes en kapasiteit van 'n geestelik versteurde persoon wat in 'n ondersteunde behuisingsfasiliteit tuisgaan, daar te stel. Die navorsingsverslag sluit dus die identifisering van die persoonlike behoeftes en kapasiteit in van geestesiekes in 'n ondersteunde behuisingsfasiliteit. Dit behels aspekte van toepassing op hulle daaglikse lewensomstandighede en lewenstyl, insluitend behoeftes en bekommernisse, kapasiteit, sterkpunte, beperkings en die rol van die familie in die individu se lewe. Die verslag ondersoek ook die maatskaplike dienste wat van belang is vir die behandeling en rehabilitasie van mense wat in 'n ondersteunde behuisingsfasiliteit tuisgaan. Die empiriese studie bestaan uit beide kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe metodes ten einde die pragmatiese aspek van die navorsing te ondersoek. Dit het 'n ondersoek moontlik gemaak na die persoonlike behoeftes, kapasiteite en sosio-emosionele status (funksie) van geestesiekes in 'n ondersteunde behuisingsfasiliteit. Inligting is ingewin deur middel van 'n vraelys, en is daarna ontleed ten einde geldige gevolgtrekkings op grond van die navorsing te maak. Die bevindings van hierdie studie kan gebruik word as riglyne vir maatskaplike werkers en ander maatskaplike praktisyns wat met geestesiekes werk.

Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between residential environment and subjective quality of life (QOL) for individuals with mental illness. Demographic variables impacting QOL were also examined. The Wisconsin Quality of Life Index---Canadian Version (CaW QLI, Diaz & Mercier, 1996) was administered to a total of 46 participants and was used to assess the QOL of individuals living in a supported residential environment as compared to individuals living in other types of environments.
The major findings were: (1) psychiatric consumers/survivors in the supported residential environment reported higher QOL scores in 4 of the 9 domains examined; (2) residents living in a supported housing facility were more likely to be involved in a greater number of daily activities; (3) education was strongly correlated with 4 of the 9 QOL domains; (4) regression analyses however showed that residential environment or demographic variables on their own did not have a significant effect on QOL. Further research is required to delineate the relationships between residential environment, demographic variables and QOL.

Despite its cost-effectiveness, supportive housing is grossly underprovided. In this paper, I build a rights-based strategy for supportive housing advocates, specifically structured around meeting the needs of mentally ill homeless people. A rights-based strategy, emanating from constitutional law, is the most robust way to secure this support. The failure of New York State to provide supportive housing for mentally ill homeless people is a prima facie violation of human rights under domestic law (specifically, NYS constitution Article 17, Section 1) and various international treaties. The government has enforced a property ownership and regulatory regime that interferes with mentally ill citizens' ability to satisfy their basic needs and therefore must provide a publicly-financed remedy for their condition. This thesis identifies the best legal strategy by which activists can secure this remedy. To make this is case, it is necessary to circumvent resistance from federal courts to affirmative welfare policy. I do this by identifying the state law basis of the right to adequate housing. Once it has been established as a right at the state level, federal attitudes take a different character as federal courts treat welfare entitlements as property-and federal courts vigorously defend property.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors associated with homelessness, assess the relationship between housing status and consumption of costly publicly funded resources, to identify characteristics associated with service retention, and to evaluate whether length of treatment is associated with better outcomes. The target population was homeless and formerly homeless adults with SMI enrolled in community mental health services at the Downtown Emergency Service Center SAGE mental health program located in Seattle. The sample consisted of 380 SAGE patients who had continuous enrollment in 2005. These patients formed the cohort for the study. Agency records for these patients were reviewed for a 3-year period (2005-2007). The study utilized a non-experimental retrospective cohort study design. Multiple logistic regression, hierarchical multiple regression, two-way repeated measures ANOVA, and Cochran's Q test were used to analyze the data. Homelessness was associated with African American race, substance use, lower income, and younger age. Patients who were homeless spent more time in jail and required more mental health staff time compared with patients with stable housing. Patients with schizophrenia were more likely to retain services and African American patients were less likely to retain services. Overall, patients who remained enrolled in services from Year 1 to Year 3 had improved housing stability, fewer days of incarceration, and required less staff support. The overrepresentation of African Americans among patients who experienced homelessness suggests that racism could be a factor contributing to homelessness for this racial group. Further research is needed to assess the relationship between race and homelessness.

Abstract:
Housing is both a social issue and a determinant for well being and is an integral component of social policy. The research specifically looked at the barriers for mental health service users to accessing affordable housing. Previous studies have identified affordability, lack of choice and discrimination as specific issues in relation to people with mental illness and housing. While previous studies focussed on housing affordability in relation to the individual, this research considered the barriers to affordable housing for mental health service users in relation to the capitalist structure of society. The research utilised a Marxist theoretical perspective that views housing in terms of the social structures of society and the relationship to class. This approach was supported by the social model of disability, a social construct where those with disabilities are oppressed by the social structures of society. Another element of the research provided a history of government housing policy in New Zealand. A quantitative and qualitative approach was used to collect data which consisted of statistical information and information gained from interviews with the relevant participants. Analysis from a Marxist perspective explained, from the findings, that there are systemic barriers in accessing affordable housing for mental health service users within a capitalist system. From the findings, the social model of disability explained that there are structural disadvantages for mental health service users that result in barriers to accessing affordable housing. An analysis of the history of government housing policy in New Zealand, which has continually promoted the commodification of housing, also explained from the findings that there are systemic barriers to accessing affordable housing for mental health service users within a capitalist system.

Abstract:
Crises typically involve a sense of suddenness. Many are natural in their origin. A tornado fits both. The mass homelessness that began in New York City (and nationwide) in the late 1970s was neither. Yet lawyers advocating for the homeless approached the problem in much the same way as their peers working on more traditionally defined crises. In New York it began with litigation—establishing the right to shelter for homeless men, then women, then families. From there, it moved on to subpopulations such as mentally ill individuals, as housing is not a right recognized by any court. Throughout the late 1970s and into the 1980s, litigatory and nonlitigatory efforts by the Coalition for the Homeless had many important victories, unintended consequences—both good and bad—and provided many valuable lessons for legal practitioners, such as defining the crisis, forming partnerships, and recognizing the limits of litigation.

Abstract:
Home is a place of belongingness and homeless mentally ill people form a highly vulnerable group. The vicious cycle of poverty, ill health, and homelessness in India makes the context even more pertinent. Various definitions exist for homelessness in India but none can describe the population fully. Epidemiological studies from India give some estimates of the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in this group. Psychotic disorder is the most common diagnosis followed by mood disorders, substance use disorders, and intellectual disability. Administrative factors such as lack of rehabilitative services and scarcity of mental health resources; illness factors such as untreated mental disorder, impaired ability to self-care, and high comorbidities; and social factors such as high stigma, poverty, low literacy, rapid urbanization, lack of employment, and other housing barriers are the major reasons in India contributing to homelessness in the mentally ill population. There remains a duality in this population that homelessness and mental illness act as risk factors for each other. Women form a higher risk group with regard to being homeless and mentally ill. The major support in India for this population comes from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and NGOs such as the Richmond Fellowship Society, Shraddha Foundation, The Banyan, Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan, Ashadeep, and Hope Kolkata Foundation remain as pioneers in psychosocial rehabilitation. India also has programmes and policies to support this population. The Mental Healthcare Act (2017) lays down various provisions for the homeless mentally ill. There is a need for government–NGO collaboration and more facilities for psychosocial rehabilitation to help this vulnerable population in need.

Abstract:
This chapter describes a collaboration between academics from Berkeley and leaders of the Trieste mental health system and of San Francisco General Hospital, to determine the feasibility of replicating the Trieste model of mental healthcare in San Francisco. The participants ultimately concluded that Basaglia has had no influence on the mental health system in the United States, and determined that the obstacles to replication of the Trieste model were, in whole or in part, insuperable at this time. Among these obstacles are the demographics of the population in San Francisco (e.g. large numbers of poor, disabled people competing for the same small resource base), the pervasiveness of substance abuse among the mentally ill population, the extent of homelessness and criminalization of the mentally ill, the dearth of affordable housing, the predominant use of the medical model, and the fee-for-service financing system which supports this model.

Full text
Abstract:
In this chapter, Mariana Valverde offers a historical overview of the discourses underlying modern criminal theory. Modern criminology is rooted in a long tradition of “miserology,” the study of that “hybrid of moral degradation, physical ill health, spatial marginality, and collective despair . . . found among the new urban proletariat.” That history spans Engels’s focus on the “nameless misery” of British factory workers, great 19th-century novelists like Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo, Christian anti-poverty activism, modern welfare dependency discourse, and The Wire. Criminology, however, has lost touch with those deeply situated inquiries. Valverde points to the mid-20th century as a moment of schism between the professional study of crime and crime rates—what we now call criminology—and the study of housing, alcoholism, public health, mental health, and other poverty-related phenomena. But those early miserologists in many ways anticipated today’s resurgent interest in risk, race, social control, and the framing of crime, not as a stand-alone phenomenon, but as one aspect of social marginalization and disadvantage.

Abstract:
This chapter presents the historical transformation of the Los Angeles County jail system in order to explain why medicine has becomes a useful tool for jailers. Jails were successfully pressured into providing expanded healthcare by various legal agencies at the exact same time that they faced unprecedent budget constraint. In response, jails began thinking of their inmates less as violent gang members and more as mentally ill, substance abusers, and less threatening homeless persons. Doing so allowed them to draw in funding from other agencies and to release thousands of inmates. In total this resulted in the mere circulation of inmates between general housing and medicalized space as the key solution to the jail’s fiscal retrenchment and legal demands.

Abstract:
Despite efforts to remove intellectually disabled and mentally ill people from poor farms, states lacked enough institutional space. Poor farms could be unhealthy and isolating places housing these residents in separate outbuildings, attics, or basements where they received no specialized treatment. There were not enough employees to provide supervision or care. Reformers and supporters of eugenics unjustly targeted poor farms as sites that encouraged the reproduction of the poor and disabled. Some intellectually disabled people and those with mental illnesses found poor farms safe spaces, which allowed them to work on tasks suited to their abilities. A few states, including Wisconsin, encouraged entirely separate asylums on poor farm property as a way to use asylums residents to labor on the farms.

Abstract:
Abstract Mental illness is commonly associated with denial of social rights, despite the advent of ‘community care’ in many countries. There are several potential ways to address these issues: political activism to build more just societies; expansion of social support to reach those most in need; reform of mental health services to ensure minimum standards of care; and revision of mental health legislation to accord with international standards such as the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. India’s new mental health legislation, the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017, was commenced on 29 May 2018 and is the first piece of major mental health law that seeks explicitly to comply with the Convention. The legislation includes both specific provisions relating to delivery of mental health care and broader provisions centred on a range of rights, including social rights. Most significantly, the 2017 Act provides a legally binding right to mental health care to the entire population of India, which includes 1.3 billion people or one-sixth of Earth’s population. Other key social rights in the legislation relate to housing, community living, and ‘a right to live with dignity’. The extent to which this ambitious legislation will succeed in protecting and promoting the social rights of the mentally ill has yet to be seen. Clearly, adequate resources and training of more mental health professionals are both essential if social rights and social inclusion are to become realities for the mentally ill and their families in India and around the world.

Abstract:
Homeless mentally ill (HMI) individuals suffer from complex issues. Care for HMI people is an urgent challenge to mental health professionals and is a global problem. Clinical care and rehabilitation of HMI individuals are important and essential with respect to the person’s rights and with regard to ensuring a high-quality healthcare service. The clinical outcomes and rehabilitation of HMI individuals are likely to be influenced by multiple factors such as favourable treatment outcomes, recovery from mental illness, employment, social support, stable housing options, assertive community treatment, integrated physical and mental health services, community-based care, and finally national and local health policies and proactive legislations. Based on the HMI population’s research-driven specific needs, there is a need for developing optimal models of social care and rehabilitation for the HMI individuals in every country. The comprehensive care system for HMI individuals should provide individualized, tailor-made, community-based outreach, based on local and social resources. There is a need for prospective studies for the HMI individuals that can influence public policy. It is important to collaborate with different stakeholders from the community including the public sector, ministries of housing, health, social welfare, labour, women and child development, law and non-governmental organizations, rehabilitation centres, judiciary, and psychiatric facilities to ensure and enhance the quality of services for these very vulnerable individuals.
