title: Experiences of Tenants with Serious Mental Illness Regarding Housing Support and Contextual Issues: A Meta-Synthesis.
abstract: This study aimed to analyze and synthesize findings from qualitative studies that explored the experiences of tenants with serious mental illness regarding housing support and contextual issues. Twenty-four articles were identified using a systematic search strategy. The total number of informants was N = 769. The reported findings were transcribed and analyzed using a systematic text condensation approach. The tenants' experiences were categorized into two main categories and subcategories (in parenthesis): Support Issues (Experience of Support Needs, Experiences with Receiving Support, Experiences with Support Approach) and Contextual Issues (Neighborhood Experiences, Community Experiences). The subcategories, with themes and subthemes, offer an in-depth understanding of the tenants' complex experiences concerning housing support and contextual issues.
