Use of group treatment among case managers in Department of Veterans Affairs supported housing program
Jack Tsai, PhD; Robert A. Rosenheck, MD
The Department of Housing and Urban Development-
Department of Veterans Affairs Supported
Housing (HUD-VASH) program provides homeless
veterans with a housing voucher and intensive case
management. However, the use of group treatment
in HUD-VASH has not been examined. This study
examined national HUD-VASH data and found that
HUD-VASH programs that offered groups more
often had more contacts with their clients. Furthermore,
an online survey of HUD-VASH case managers
in the New England area found most case managers
reported groups could be helpful for their clients.
The results of this study suggest that group treatment
in HUD-VASH has the potential to improve care for
homeless veterans and should be further studied.
