Description

Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program provides subsidized permanent housing with case management to homeless-experienced Veterans (HEVs). Up to 40% of Veterans exit HUD-VASH within two years of attaining housing; substance use disorders (SUDs) are one of the largest causes of returns to homelessness for HEVs. CARE-VASH QUERI proposes to implement and evaluate two evidence-based SUD services - Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and cognitive behavioral therapy for SUDs (CBT-SUD) - among Veterans in HUD-VASH.

Official Title

Coordinated Access for Addiction Recovery and Equity in VA Supportive Housing (CARE-VASH) (QUE 25-013)

Details

The Department of Housing and Urban Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program provides subsidized, permanent housing and supports to Veterans experiencing homelessness. Substance use disorders (SUDs) are a common primary or contributing factor to negative exits from HUD-VASH. The Coordinated Access for Addiction Recovery and Equity in VA Supportive Housing (CARE-VASH) QUERI will implement two evidence-based practices (EBPs) for SUDs-Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) and cognitive behavioral therapy for SUDs (CBT-SUD)-in 12 HUD-VASH sites. We will use the Replicating Effective Programs (REP) implementation bundle to support EBP implementation at all 12 sites. Half the sites (n=6) will also receive 9 months of consumer engagement (REP+CE). In a type 3 hybrid trial, we will use mixed methods to examine the impacts of REP vs. REP+CE. Using our trial data, we will develop a budget impact analysis and implementation playbook for our program partners to spread and sustain MAT and CBT-SUD in HUD-VASH.
