无家可归和监禁有着双向的联系：无家可归的人更有可能被监禁，而以前的囚犯更有可能无家可归。永久性支持性住房（PSH）项目对有犯罪记录的参与者显示出积极的效果，但参与者继续退出监狱或监狱，并经历随后的无家可归。使用2011年至2014年间在4个地点参加PSH项目的退伍军人的数据（N = 1,060），使用逻辑回归来检查因监禁和返回无家可归而退出PSH的风险因素。虽然因为监禁而退出并不常见，但随着时间的推移，有药物使用障碍的退伍军人减少了相关护理的频率，这种结果的风险增加了，监禁史增加了退伍军人经历持续无家可归的风险。调查结果可以为住房和重返社会干预提供信息，这些干预措施应考虑到参与者的风险因素和服务需求，以努力结束无家可归和监禁的循环。
Homelessness and incarceration share a bidirectional association: individuals experiencing homelessness are more likely to be incarcerated and former inmates are more likely to become homeless. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) programs have demonstrated positive outcomes for participants with criminal histories, yet participants continue to exit to jail or prison and experience subsequent homelessness. Using data on Veterans participating in a PSH program at 4 locations between 2011 and 2014 (N = 1,060), logistic regression was used to examine the risk factors for exiting PSH because of incarceration and returning to homelessness. Though exiting because of incarceration was uncommon, Veterans with a drug use disorder who decreased the frequency of related care over time had an increased risk for this outcome, and a history of incarceration increased Veterans' risk of experiencing ongoing homelessness. Findings can inform housing and reentry interventions which should account for participant risk factors and service needs in an effort to end the cycle of homelessness and incarceration.
