Results from the First Phase of the Supportive Services Demonstration

The report titled Supporting Aging in Place Through IWISH: Results from the First Phase of the Supportive Services Demonstration provides a quantitative analysis of the impact of IWISH on residents’ healthcare utilization and housing stability at the end of the first three years by comparing the treatment and control groups along four primary outcomes:

• Unplanned hospitalizations and use of other acute care;
• Use of primary care and other nonacute health care;
• Length of stay in HUD multifamily housing, including frequency of exits from housing; and
• Transitions to long-term care facilities.

The issue brief accompanies the report and summarizes the evaluation findings of the initial three-year period for a non-technical audience.
