A Pilot Mixed Method Quasi-Experimental Identity Capital Intervention for Young People Exiting Homelessness

This is a database for a study from a six-week intervention designed to foster social and economic inclusion for young people who have exited homelessness. Nineteen young people (aged 18 – 26) who had transitioned out of homelessness within the past three years were provided scholarships to participate in a six-week intervention focused on building identity capital and providing career direction. Each time we met with participants, we used questionnaires to capture what we believe are important indicators of socioeconomic inclusion: hope, physical community integration (e.g., attending a community event), psychological community integration, social connectedness (e.g., feeling like one belongs), and self-esteem.
