Study Summary

This trial tests a complex intervention for youth in transition out of homelessness, which is team-based and comprised of integrated case management, peer support, and mental health supports. Its objective is to stabilize housing trajectories and improve outcomes in major life domains.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for young people aged 16-25 in Toronto who have been homeless for at least 6 months but recently found stable housing (from 1 day to 6 months ago). They must speak English well. It's not for those planning to move out of Toronto within a year.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests the HOP-C program, which includes team-based case management, peer support, and mental health services. The goal is to see if it helps youth stay housed and improve their life outcomes compared to usual community supports.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves social and mental health support rather than medical treatment, traditional 'side effects' are not applicable. However, participants may experience varying levels of emotional or psychological discomfort as they engage with the services provided.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Housing Outreach Project - Collaboration (HOP-C) + Treatment as UsualExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The treatment condition is HOP-C plus treatment as usual (TAU).

Group II: Treatment As UsualActive Control1 Intervention

TAU for this population reflects the standard array of services accessed by transitional youth populations. Most will have some contact with a youth worker with ranging focus and intensity (none likely to receive case management at HOP-C intensity), and very few will have any routine contact with other professionals or peer support. They may have some sporadic access to skills development programs and primary healthcare providers with mental health and addictions needs addressed primarily through emergency services at times of crisis.
