Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motivational Network Intervention

Every 2 weeks, residents attend meetings with their case manager. These meetings are customized to the needs of the resident at the time of the meeting. Participants randomized into the Motivational Network Intervention arm are offered an additional discussion about their social networks. Case managers ask participants to answer a series of standardized questions about people they know. After these questions are answered, case managers show participants a series of images representing these answers. While showing these images, case mangers engage the participant in discussions about what they notice using Motivational Interviewing techniques. The goal is to discuss what the participant wants to change and state strategies about achieving these changes.

OTHER

Usual Care

Residents attend regular case management meetings with their case managers as a condition of their residency in the housing program. These sessions are customized do the needs of the resident at the time of the meeting. Participants randomized into the usual care arm will be offered these sessions every 2 weeks.
