Which of the following factors predict housing stability for individuals with psychiatric disabilities?

Housing stability is a key outcome of community integration for individuals with psychiatric disabilities, requiring both practical resources and personal empowerment. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain III: Community Integration) highlights the importance of stable resources (e.g., income from employment) and self-determination (e.g., choice in housing) as predictors of housing stability (Task III.A.1: "Support individuals in accessing and maintaining stable housing"). Option A (stable employment and personal choice on where to live) aligns with this, as employment provides financial stability to afford housing, and personal choice ensures the housing meets the individual’s preferences and needs, fostering long-term stability.

Option B (social skills and personal choice) is less predictive, as social skills are secondary to financial and choice-related factors in maintaining housing. Option C (symptoms and medication compliance) may influence stability but is not as directly predictive as economic and autonomy factors, as symptom management does not guarantee housing retention without resources. Option D (stable employment and medication compliance) omits the critical role of personal choice, which is central to recovery-oriented housing outcomes. The PRA Study Guide emphasizes employment and choice as key drivers of housing stability, supporting Option A.
