每年都有许多罪犯被释放，无家可归，使他们面临被送回监狱的巨大风险。为了减少累犯的可能性，华盛顿州实施了重返社会住房试点方案，为离开监狱后没有可行住所的高风险/高需求罪犯提供住房援助。这项研究提供了一个纵向（2008-2011年），多站点的结果评估，考虑如何在RHPP方案（n = 208），谁提供住房和概括性服务的前罪犯相比，释放与无家可归的风险升高，而传统的监督（n = 208）。调查结果表明，RHPP计划是成功的，大大减少了新的定罪和重新入狱的新的犯罪，但没有显着的影响，对赦免。此外，结果表明，无家可归的时期显着增加了再犯新的信念，赦免和重新入狱的风险。作者建议，为高风险罪犯提供补贴住房成为协调应对重返社会的核心部分。
Each year many offenders are released homeless putting them at great risk of being returned to prison. To reduce the likelihood of recidivism, Washington State implemented the Reentry Housing Pilot Program (RHPP) to provide housing assistance for high risk/high need offenders leaving prison without a viable place to live. This study provides a longitudinal (2008-2011), multisite outcome evaluation that considers how ex-offenders in the RHPP program (n = 208), who were provided housing and wraparound services, compared with similar offenders released with an elevated risk of homelessness while being traditionally supervised (n = 208). Findings show that the RHPP program was successful in significantly reducing new convictions and readmission to prison for new crimes, but had no significant effect on revocations. In addition, results showed that periods of homelessness significantly elevated the risk of recidivism for new convictions, revocations, and readmission to prison. The authors recommend that subsidized housing for high risk offenders become a central part of coordinated responses to reentry.
