Highlights Housing First reports more service user recovery but little is known about how this is achieved. Certain features of homeless services are likely to promote service users’ recovery. Housing First service users reported more choice, better housing quality, and more satisfaction. Service features predicted independent housing, psychiatric symptoms, and community integration. Across socio‐political and economic contexts, Housing First predicts greater recovery than traditional services.
