Abstract

Public officials around the world seek to target subsidized housing as purposely and efficiently as possible. With limited availability of subsidized housing, it is helpful to know which household types require specific types of housing support and for how long. With this in mind, we undertake survival analysis and hazard models on clients placed into housing funded by the Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF) to characterize patterns of exit from Calgary’s homeless system of care. To do this, we use data from Calgary’s Homelessness Management Information System from 1 April 2012 until 31 March 2015. We find singles without dependents to require housing support for the longest period of time, while families require the support for the least amount of time. One important finding is that women require housing support for longer periods of time than men (even though we control for employment and income).
