Baseline sample characteristics.

P Values correspond to chi-square tests for categorical variables and Mann-Whitney tests for continuous variables.
1For the total sample, percentages shown were calculated as proportion of the total sample (N = 378) except for the following variables which had missing values: Marital status (N = 1); Number of children (N = 2); Total length of homelessness (N = 5); Longest period of homelessness (N = 3); Education History (N = 1). For group value calculations, percentages are calculated out of the total available data (excluding missing); therefore column totals for each variable add up to 100%. However, for questions with “yes/no” answers, only the proportion of individuals who indicated “yes” are provided.
2For Gender, individuals who self-identified as Other/Transgendered/Transsexual were not included (N = 8) due to small cell size
3 “Racialized” includes participants who indicated the following ethnic or cultural identities: East Asian (e.g. China, Japan, Korea), South Asian (e.g. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka), South East Asian (e.g. Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam), Black African (e.g. Ghana, Kenya, Somalia), Black Canadian/American, Black Caribbean Region (e.g. Jamaica, Trinidad, Tobago), Latin American (e.g. Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica), Indian-Caribbean (e.g. Guyana with origins in India), Middle Eastern (e.g. Egypt, Iran, Israel, Palestine) or Mixed background (that included at least one of the ethnic groups listed above).
4 The “Non Racialized” category includes participants who indicated the following ethnicities: White-Canada, White-Europe and Other and includes participants who self-identified as Aboriginal (n = 18).
5 Median values (y) for Total Length of Homelessness: Full sample: 2.67, Housing First with ICM: 2.50, Treatment as Usual: 2.83.
6Median values (y) for Longest Period of Homelessness: Full sample: 1.0, Housing First with ICM: 1.0, Treatment as Usual: 1.0.
7Median values for MCAS score: Full sample: 65.0, Housing First with ICM: 65.0, Treatment As Usual: 65.0
8MINI Diagnoses all represent current diagnoses established at baseline.
9Suicidality was assessed as low, medium, or high; results here are shown with categories collapsed.
