Notes: SIB=Denver Supportive Housing Social Impact Bond. Sample for the treatment group is 363 people. Sample for the control group is 361 people. Results are for three years after people were randomized to the treatment and control groups. Results were estimated using ordinary least squares. The regression-adjusted models included the following control measures: age, gender, and race/ethnicity. In addition, the regressions controlled for days in jail, number of jail stays, number of arrests, and number of custodial arrests, all measured in the three years before randomization. This chart compares outcomes from the treatment group and control group using the intent-to-treat approach. The differences are statistically significant at the 0.01 level.
