Figure 1.
Distribution of Propensity Scores for Supportive Housing Tenants and Unplaced Applicants in Programs.
This figure describes the distribution of propensity scores for placed and unplaced subjects in SUD and young adult populations. In each population, there was substantial overlap in the distributions between placed and unplaced subjects, meeting an important prerequisite for propensity score matching. Abbreviations: SUD, substance use disorder. Data sources: NYC Department of Homeless Services, NYC Department of Correction, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, NYC Human Resources Administration and within it Customized Assistance Services and the NYC HIV/AIDS Services Administration, and New York State Office of Mental Health.
