This paper examines how formerly homeless adults with serious mental illness living in Housing First (HF) and "treatment first" (TF) supportive housing programs experience employment. Research questions include: How do these individuals experience employment in the context of their mental health recovery? What do they perceive as the benefits of and obstacles to attaining employment? Are there programmatic differences in their employment experiences?
