目前正在全国范围内努力减少被关押在监狱和监狱中的人数。然而，许多缓刑或假释的罪犯无法获得负担得起的住房，更大比例的人有艾滋病毒风险和药物滥用问题的历史。在加利福尼亚州，清醒的生活房屋(SLH)正成为这些人越来越受欢迎的住房选择。SLH主要基于酗酒者匿名的原则，要求戒酒和戒毒，并为康复提供同行支持。目前的研究调查了330名有终身感染艾滋病毒风险的罪犯在进入SLH之前的六个月内所经历的问题类型。几乎四分之三(74%)的有前科的人至少有一次感染艾滋病毒的风险。住房的重要性显而易见，这一发现表明，住房状况和参与者对其住房状况的看法与各种问题领域有关，包括药物使用、艾滋病毒风险、精神严重程度和法律问题。补充居所对释囚来说是一个重要的住屋选择，但很多居民可能需要额外的服务，以解决各种问题。
Abstract There is currently a nationwide effort to decrease the number of persons who are incarcerated in jails and prisons. However, many ex-offenders on probation or parole do not have access to affordable housing and larger proportions have histories of HIV risk as well as substance abuse problems. In California, sober living houses (SLHs) are becoming an increasingly popular housing option for these individuals. Based largely on the principles of alcoholics anonymous, SLHs require abstinence from alcohol and drugs and provide peer support for recovery. The current study examined the types of problems experienced among 330 ex-offenders with lifetime risk for HIV during the six months prior to entering SLHs. Nearly three fourths (74%) of all ex-offenders entering the houses had at least one HIV risk. The importance of housing was evident in the finding that housing status and participants’ perceptions of their housing situation were associated with a variety of problem areas, including substance use, HIV risk, psychiatric severity, and legal problems. SLHs represent an important housing option for ex-offenders, but many residents may need additional services to address various problems.
