Question

explain regression model between income and homelessness and provide data be relevant and provide links

Answer 1

In cross-sectional models, the median rent, the share of households in rental housing, and the poverty rate have strong positive impacts on homelessness. Once area-fixed effects are included, only the median rent remains positive and significant. However, fixed-effect models find a positive relationship between poverty and homelessness in communities that maintain right-to-shelter policies, suggesting constraints in shelter bed supply may limit responses of homelessness to changes in economic conditions.

Unemployment ranged from 93% to 98% across 5 sites. The per cent of participants who wanted to work ranged from 61% to 83%. Participants relied predominantly on government assistance, with 29.5% relying exclusively on welfare, and 46.2% receiving disability benefits. Twenty-eight per cent of participants received neither social assistance nor disability income. Among the 2085 participants, 6.8% reported income from panhandling, 2.1% from sex trade, and 1.2% from selling drugs. Regression models showed that income differed significantly among sites and age groups, and was significantly lower for people with psychotic illnesses.

These results suggest that homeless people with mental illness are predominantly unemployed, despite expressing a desire to work. Employment and steady income are important contributors to physical and mental health. Apart from contributing to material benefits, stable employment has important implications for social inclusion and recovery for people who are, or have recently been, homeless and have a mental illness. Employment also reduces reliance on emergency shelters, and can facilitate exit from homelessness.Income support can reduce the prevalence of risky and costly behaviours in this population.Research suggests that homeless people with mental illness may have difficulty accessing disability benefits and that their rate of unemployment exceeds 80%, reducing their options for subsistence. Additionally, the highly visible act of panhandling is the focus of much public attention and has a negative impact on society’s opinion of this vulnerable segment of society. Understanding the extent to which this segment of society depends on various sources of income has important benefits for policy makers and can guide the implementation of targeted interventions, such as evidence-based supported employment and benefits counselling. Small-scale surveys have been conducted, but information about the current situation remains limited. Our study seeks to provide a comprehensive description of the various sources of income and employment activities reported by homeless people who also have a mental illness.
