Intervention overview
Our community-academic team designed TRUE HAVEN, a community-based intervention that acts on two leverage points in our community’s systems that are most feasibly intervened upon and projected to be most impactful: (1) housing stability (for recently incarcerated individuals as well as family members of incarcerated people) and (2) mental well-being. We will study the effect of our intervention using a cluster-randomized, stepped-wedge study design. Each of six neighborhood’s residents will be eligible for enrollment in the housing stability component of the initiative for a 6-month period and during this time, trusted community members in this neighborhood will be trained in trauma-informed counseling. In addition, TRUE HAVEN will employ the Learn As You Go (LAGO) approach [
