Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health

Abstract
The availability of affordable, youth-friendly, recovery-oriented housing for persons with first-episode psychosis is limited. We report on the conceptualization, implementation and implications of a pilot housing project combining the principles of specialized early intervention for psychosis and those of “Housing First,” which holds much promise to address this service gap.
Résumé
Les logements abordables, axés sur le rétablissement et adaptés aux jeunes atteints d’un premier épisode psychotique, se trouvent en nombre limité. Nous présentons ici un rapport sur la conceptualisation, la mise en oeuvre et les incidences d’un projet pilote prometteur, combinant les principes de l’intervention précoce spécialisée pour la psychose et ceux du « Logement d’abord », susceptible de combler cette lacune dans les services.
