Improving Consumer Experiences in Permanent Supportive Housing Co-Located With Health Centers: A Case Study From the Department of Veterans Affairs.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPermanent Supportive Housing (PSH), which provides subsidies for independent housing and supportive services, is an evidence-based practice that improves health and housing for homeless experienced persons. Though most PSH is scattered-site, that is, housing dispersed throughout the mainstream rental market, project-based PSH offers housing and supportive services in dedicated facilities with on-site services. In 2013, the Veterans Health Administration (VA) at Greater Los Angeles opened a novel project-based PSH program located on a VA campus. To inform plans to expand project-based PSH at this VA, we examined participants' experiences in this program. We aimed to identify participant characteristics that suggested they were well suited for the planned PSH expansion; to characterize services that participants found valuable in this setting; and to highlight gaps between participants' needs and PSH services provided.
methodsWe performed semi-structured interviews with a convenience sample (n = 24) of participants who had engaged in this project-based PSH program. Interviews asked why participants selected housing on a VA campus and explored valued program characteristics, designs, and services. Using rapid analysis methods, we generated templated summaries of each participant's responses across the domains of our interview guide, then used matrix analyses to identify salient themes across the interviews. KEY
findingsParticipants appreciated the ease of access to medical and mental health services; however, as services were assumed to be optimized by virtue of co-location with VA healthcare, their PSH providers often did not link them with non-VA social services as assertively as desired. Many participants raised concerns about building safety and on-site substance use. A lack of participant engagement in program oversight, often leading to conflicts with staff and building management, was also highlighted in our interviews. DISCUSSION: Given the value placed on ease of access to healthcare, these data suggest the value of this PSH model for persons with healthcare vulnerabilities. Specific recommendations for the planned PSH expansion include: (1) continuation of proximate, open-access healthcare; (2) clear tenant policies; (3) tenant councils for each development; (4) staff knowledgeable of non-VA resources and social services; (5) Veteran-preferred hiring practices by Property/Service management; (6) gender-specific accommodations; and (7) robust 24/7 security on-site.
