Young adults experiencing homelessness have high rates of mental health conditions but low rates of service utilization and the point of transition from homelessness to supported housing provides a window of opportunity for intervention. Therefore, there is a critical need to develop interventions to support young adult mental health at the point of transition from homelessness to housing. The goal of this study is to adapt the evidenced-based intervention, Critical Time Intervention, for young adults with mental health conditions and test the adapted intervention in a randomized feasibility pilot trial.
