Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Public Health
  • Urban Studies

Background:

  • Housing First is an evidence-based model for addressing homelessness.
  • It prioritizes immediate, permanent, supportive housing with client choice and harm reduction.
  • Understanding its implementation in diverse contexts like Brazil is crucial for effective scaling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristics of existing Housing First programs in Brazil.
  • To identify core principles adherence and implementation variations.
  • To explore barriers and facilitators to program operation and potential scale-up.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was employed.
  • Data were collected by surveying five Housing First programs across Brazil.
  • These programs represented all known initiatives at the time of data collection.

Main Results:

  • Programs generally adhered to core Housing First principles.
  • Significant variations were observed in governance, funding, staffing, and service integration.
  • Food insecurity and neighborhood safety were identified as key implementation barriers.

Conclusions:

  • While national policy supports Housing First scale-up in Brazil, critical infrastructure is underdeveloped.
  • Enhancing funding mechanisms, local service integration, and monitoring systems are essential.
  • Clearer operational guidance is needed for successful program implementation and expansion.
