| Annotation | The authors test a model to predict residential outcome among 201 homeless women aged 50 and over. On two-year follow-up, 47% had been successfully housed. Using logistic regression analysis, only two out of 12 variables - perceived support, and number of community facilities attended - were significant predictors for having been housed on follow-up. Three further variables - absence of psychosis, a lifetime history of less than one year homelessness, and number of entitlements - attained near significance. Although residential outcome is predicted by a few individual characteristics, what is most striking is the lack of suitable housing options. |
