[Supervised housing : from tenants' perspective.].
A field survey of the tenants involved in a program of <<protected apartments>> reveals the impact of their participation in this program on their daily experience in the community. From the interviews, it appears that in many ways those people value their quality of life favourably in comparison with that of the general population. Along with most of the population they have mixed judgments on their financial situation and their health. However, regarding family relationships, their main occupation and their free time they are not as contented. The analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data puts into perspective the possible assets and the inherent limitations of the services foreseen for maintaining chronic psychiatric patients in the community.
