Abstract
OBJECTIVE: A level-of-care needs assessment was undertaken at Ontario's largest shelter to establish homeless clients' mental health service needs and identify service gaps. METHODS: A level-of-care planning model was applied to data on 356 men. Assessments included the Colorado Client Assessment Record and a Service Needs and Use Questionnaire. RESULTS: Among the clients, 32% (N=105) were recommended for weekly support, 38% (N=125) for Intensive Case Management or Assertive Community Treatment, and 9% (N=29) for 24-hour supervision in a residential care facility. Despite on-site health services, half the men did not have their level of service need met. CONCLUSION: The wide range of unmet specialized mental health needs suggests that interventions of different structure and service intensity may be required for this population. A level-of-care planning model may be a helpful tool for ensuring homeless clients are matched to appropriate services and supports.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
