| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Feasibility and Acceptability: Recruitment, Enrolment, and Dropout Metrics | Recruitment, enrolment, and dropout metrics were documented by the research team. The recruitment total is the total number of individuals who express interest in participating in the study. The enrolment total is the total number of recruited individuals who are eligible and consent to participate in the study. The dropout total is the total number of enrolled participants who drop out during the study. Participants are considered to have dropped out of the study if they explicitly request to withdraw from the study, or cease participating in all intervention and research activities (i.e., no contact). | Recruitment and enrolment metrics are assessed at T0 (Baseline; pre-intervention). Dropout metrics are assessed at T4 (Month 18; end of intervention). |
| Feasibility and Acceptability: Employment Placement Engagement | Employment placement engagement is defined as the length of time participants remain in their job placement (self-reported). | Assessed at T4 (Month 18; end of intervention). |
| Feasibility and Acceptability: Coaching Engagement | Coaching Engagement is defined as the proportion of total possible coaching sessions (max. 36) that a participant attends (reported by coaches). | Assessed at T4 (Month 18; end of intervention). |
| Feasibility and Acceptability: Group Program Engagement | Group Program Engagement is defined as the proportion of total possible Tools for Intentional Living program sessions that a participant attends (reported by program facilitators). | Assessed at T4 (Month 18; end of intervention). |
| Feasibility and Acceptability: Community Connections Worker Engagement | Community Connections Worker Engagement is defined as the total number of sessions a participant attends with their Community Connections Worker (reported by workers). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Economic Capital: Employment | Employment is assessed by self-report; participants are asked whether they are currently working (in their study job placement or elsewhere). Employment rate will be reported as the number of participants who are currently employed. | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |

| Assessed at T4 (Month 18; end of intervention). |
| Economic Capital: Education | Education and training is assessed by self-report; participants are asked whether they are currently attending secondary or post-secondary classes or participating in a training/trades program. Education rate will be reported as the number of participants who are currently in an education or training program. | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |
| Economic Capital: Housing Security | Housing security is assessed using the Housing Security Scale V.3. This 19-item self-report measure explores domains related to: housing need; subjective stability; safety net; threats to stability. Housing need is a 2-item composite dichotomous indicator (Yes=presence of housing need [i.e., poor housing security]). Subjective Stability is a 5-item subscale (range 5-30); higher scores indicate greater housing security. Safety Net is a 3-item subscale (range 3-18); higher scores indicate greater housing security. Threats to Stability is a 7-item subscale (range 3-18); higher scores indicate poorer housing security. Two additional items assessing Housing History are reported separately and are not part of any subscale. | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |
| Economic Capital: Income | Income is self-reported; participants are asked their average monthly income (including income from their job placement, additional jobs, and social assistance). | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |
| Economic Capital: Food Insecurity | Food insecurity is self-reported; participants are asked three yes/no questions about their food insecurity in the past six months. A participant is deemed food insecure if they answer affirmative to one or more of the questions. The questions are: Did you ever worry that your food would run out before you had money to buy more? Did you ever cut the size of your meals or skip meals because you did not have enough money for food? Were you ever hungry but did not eat because you could not afford enough food? | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |
| Social Capital: Social Connectedness | Social connectedness is assessed using the Social Connectedness Scale - Revised. This 20-item self-report measure examines an individual's sense of belonging and connection with others. Higher scores indicate stronger perceived social connectedness. | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |
| Social Capital: Social Support | Social support is assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Social Support Survey. This 19-item self-report measure examines perceived social support across multiple dimensions, such as emotional support, tangible support, and affectionate support. Higher scores reflect greater perceived support. | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |
| Identity Capital: Self-Esteem | Self-esteem is assessed using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. This 10-item self-report measure examines positive and negative feelings about oneself. Higher scores indicate higher levels of self-esteem. | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |
| Identity Capital: Hope | Hope is assessed using the Beck Hopelessness Scale. This 20-item self-report measure explores an individual's expectations about the future. Higher scores indicate greater hopelessness. | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |
| Identity Capital: Self-Efficacy | Self-efficacy is assessed using the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale. This 10-item self-report measure assesses an individual's belief in their ability to cope with demands and unexpected situations. Higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy. | Assessed at T1 (Baseline), T2 (Month 6), T3 (Month 12), T4 (Month 18), and T5 (Month 24). |
