Components of the Bridging the Transition Framework
The Bridging the Transition Framework is comprised of a range of different components designed to guide practitioners, researchers and policymakers in efforts designed for homelessness prevention.
What do we mean by "function" and "participation" in the lives of individuals who experience homelessness?
The Bridging the Transition Framework is built on a functional and participation perspective on homelessness prevention. That is, the belief that in order to prevent ongoing homelessness among individuals who have been unhoused in the past, there is a need to help individuals who have lost their housing to function and participate optimally in the meaningful activities that they need, want, or are expected to do in their daily lives. By helping people to gain access to and function in the daily life activities that they find meaningful, we can not only prevent ongoing homelessness, but also support individuals to access the resources needed for thriving in their housing following homelessness.
