NCT ID NCT04755361
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program called HOP-C that provides case management, peer support, and mental health help to youth aged 16-25 who recently moved into stable housing after being homeless. The goal was to see if this extra support helps them stay housed, find work or school, and improve their mental health. 108 youth took part in a randomized trial comparing HOP-C to usual community services.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Housing Outreach Project Collaboration (HOP-C) - a behavioral program combining case management, peer support, and mental health groups
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a proven support program to help homeless youth stay housed and improve their education, employment, and mental health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed Phase 2/3 trial with 108 participants in one city, so results may not apply everywhere. The program is complex and may not be easy to scale.
