Housing First est une intervention efficiente favorisant, par l'accès direct à un logement, le rétablissement des personnes sans abri ayant des besoins cliniques complexes. La philosophie de ce programme s'origine dans la réadaptation psychiatrique, son éthique est fondée sur les valeurs de justice sociale et de droits de l'homme, son plaidoyer est inspiré du mouvement des usagers et sa pratique clinique, en s'adossant à des modes d'intervention basés sur des preuves, est conduite avec respect, compassion et dans un esprit de créativité et d'innovation. Tous ces éléments sont reliés ensemble par un fil, à la fois flexible et solide, fait de pragmatisme et de ténacité. Au final, le résultat est un programme opérant selon un principe de choix des usagers, offrant un accès immédiat à un logement et à un large éventail de services de soutien et de traitement. Accéder à un logement est un droit et non une récompense consécutive au fait de participer à un traitement, de suivre un programme de désintoxication ou encore de se conformer au règlement prescrit. Cet article revient sur la genèse et l'évolution du Housing First, passant d'une pratique « d'aller vers » les gens dans la rue à un programme proposant des logements aux sans-abri, et décrit ainsi la modélisation d'une petite expérience inventée dans le quartier de Hell's Kitchen de la ville de New York et sa diffusion comme « bonne pratique » nationale et internationale fondée sur des preuves probantes.

The literature on homeless adults with severe mental illness is generally silent on a critical issue surrounding service delivery—the contrast between housing first and treatment first program philosophies. This study draws on data from a longitudinal experiment contrasting a housing first program (which offers immediate permanent housing without requiring treatment compliance or abstinence) and treatment first (standard care) programs for 225 adults who were homeless with mental illness in New York City. After 48 months, results showed no significant group differences in alcohol and drug use. Treatment first participants were significantly more likely to use treatment services. These findings, in combination with previous reports of much higher rates of housing stability in the housing first group, show that "dual diagnosed" adults can remain stably housed without increasing their substance use. Thus, housing first programs favoring immediate housing and consumer choice deserve consideration as a viable alternative to standard care.
