Abstract
This paper describes the development of a proposed best-evidence model of care (MoC) and program logic (PL) for supported accommodation (SA) for people released from prison. Evidence from a systematic review, interviews with clients of SA, and consultation with service providers were synthesized to develop a draft MoC that was embedded into a PL. The MoC and PL were refined in a workshop with researchers and SA providers. The MoC comprised five best-evidence core components to be standardized across any SA, operationalized by flexible activities that need to be determined by services to suit their circumstances. The PL comprised client needs that the program targets, a rationale for why core components would be effective and appropriate process and outcome measures. The development and uptake of a best-evidence MoC and clearly defined PL will help engender a larger and more rigorous SA evidence-base, and improve outcomes for people released from prison.
