Summary View help for Summary
The study takes advantage of a natural experiment that randomly provides Family Unification Program (a Housing and Urban Development initiative that provides Housing Choice Vouchers to families whose inadequate housing risks out-of-home placement) services to intact families (N=192) who are compared to a child welfare services-as-usual control group (N=192). Oversampling occurs in both conditions to account for voucher uptake failure and attrition. The study obtains two baseline assessments before housing services and then re-assess at 6-, 12-, and 24-months post-baseline for a total of five time points. Caregivers and their children are administered a panel survey. Administrative data from multiple services systems linked at the individual and family level are integrated to allow comparisons to the population of child welfare-involved families in Chicago (N=700).
