Employment-Based Housing Program for Adults at Risk of Homelessness

This study is testing an "Employment-Based Housing" (EBH) program, which helps people find both housing and jobs at the same time. It's compared to two other approaches: basic vocational services and a list of community resources. The goal is to see if EBH can reduce emergency department (ED) visits and improve housing stability, employment, sleep, and overall health for adults at risk of homelessness. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, speak English or Spanish, were recently discharged from a Harris Health System emergency department, and are at risk of homelessness with an employment need. The study aims to enroll 750 people, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
