Existing literature suggests that financial incentives may effectively support service engagement of this population, but studies investigating key stakeholder perspectives are lacking. This study aimed to elicit, using qualitative methods, nuanced service user and provider experiences by using financial incentives to support service engagement among adults experiencing homelessness and mental illness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This qualitative study is part of a larger mixed\u2010methods pragmatic trial of financial incentives (Coordinated Access to Care for the Homeless\u2014Financial Incentives [CATCH\u2010FI]) within a community\u2010based brief case management programme (CATCH) in Toronto, Ontario. Twenty\u2010two CATCH\u2010FI participants were purposefully recruited to participate in in\u2010depth, semi\u2010structured interviews; five CATCH service providers participated in a focus group and seven key informants in individual interviews. Data collection occurred between April 2019 and December 2020. All interviews and the focus group were audio\u2010recorded and transcribed. Topic guides prompted participant perspectives on and experiences of using financial incentives to support engagement, health and well\u2010being. Grounded theory and inductive thematic analysis guided coding and interpretation of transcripts. Triangulation and member\u2010checking enhanced the analytical rigour and validity of findings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>CATCH service providers, key informants and subgroup of CATCH\u2010FI participants perceived financial incentives to directly facilitate service engagement. The majority of CATCH\u2010FI participants however highlighted that intrinsic motivation and service quality may be relatively more important facilitators of engagement. Most study participants across stakeholder groups perceived that financial incentives have direct positive influences on health and well\u2010being in enabling access to basic needs and simple pleasures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our data suggest that for some adults experiencing homelessness and mental illness, financial incentives can directly support service engagement. In addition, financial incentives may positively impact health and well\u2010being by easing financial stress and enabling deeper attention to individual health needs. Further research on the effectiveness and acceptability of financial incentives is needed to improve understanding and uptake of a promising intervention to support health and health service use outcomes in an underserved population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title><jats:p>Study participants provided input into the study research
