Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Housing First approach is a social policy directive for addressing homelessness, but there is a lack of clear evidence of its effectiveness with youth experiencing homelessness. At the community level, service providers are implementing “youth-focussed Housing First” without the research support to evaluate the efficacy of this approach in providing stable housing that promotes a positive transition to adulthood. This comprehensive literature review includes ten of the most widely used social services databases, confirming a deficit of diverse perspectives and research evidence such as evaluative studies and peer reviewed articles validating the Housing First approach with youth. A comprehensive review of grey literature was also completed to determine what is known about youth-focussed Housing First and the most significant gaps in research. This article sets out directions for future research and produces social policy recommendations for all levels of Canadian government that will support Housing First programs that meet the unique developmental needs of youth. At the grassroots level, communities are adapting the Housing First approach to youth; this needs to be recognized and supported by research that evaluates the impact these programs are having in the lives of young people in order to inform scalability efforts to work towards eradicating youth homelessness. The hope is that youth-focussed Housing First develops a robust discussion in academic research.ResumeL’approche Logement d’abord est une directive de politique sociale visant a lutter contre l’itinerance, cependant, son efficacite n’est pas clairement demontree aupres des jeunes en situation d’itinerance. Au niveau communautaire, les fournisseurs de services mettent en œuvre un programme « Logement d’abord » pour les jeunes malgre le manque d’etudes pour evaluer l’efficacite de cette approche afin de fournir aux jeunes un logement stable qui favorise une transition positive vers l’âge adulte. Cet article de revue detaille inclut dix des bases de donnees de services sociaux les plus utilisees, ce qui aide a confirmer le manque de perspectives variees et de donnees de recherche telles que des etudes d’evaluation et des articles examines par des pairs afin de valider l’approche « Logement d’abord » pour les jeunes. Une analyse detaillee de la documentation parallele a egalement ete realisee afin de determiner ce que l’on sait des programmes Logement d’abord pour les jeunes et les principales lacunes de la recherche. Cet article concoit les orientations des futures etudes et presente des recommandations de politique sociale a tous les niveaux du gouvernement canadien, qui soutiendront les programmes Logement d’abord afin de repondre aux besoins developpementaux uniques des jeunes. Au niveau local, les communautes adaptent l’approche Logement d’abord aux jeunes. Cela doit etre reconnu et soutenu par des etudes qui evaluent l’impact de ces programmes sur la vie des jeunes afin de guider les efforts d’extensibilite visant a eradiquer l’itinerance des jeunes. Le but est de susciter une discussion animee en matiere de la recherche universitaire quant au programme Logement d’abord pour les jeunesMots cles: Jeunes; logement d’abord; logement d’abord pour les jeunes; article de revue

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
