Highlights This study contributes to a European evidence base for effective interventions for homeless people. It is the first RCT conducted in Dutch shelter services; this is uncommon outside the United States. In this sample, recurrent homelessness was rare 9 months after moving from a shelter to housing. Beneficial effects of CTI on mental health seem to be independent of health care system or context.
