Housing Services for Child Welfare-Involved Families: An Initial Evaluation Using Observational Data
Fowler, Patrick J.; Taylor, Jeremy J.; Rufa, Anne K.
Child Welfare, v90 n2 p107-126 2011
This study evaluated the impact of housing services among child welfare-involved families using observational data. Propensity score matching with data from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being compared intact families (n = 183) who received housing services 12 months after initial investigation to nontreated families balanced on characteristics at the time of investigation. Results suggested that general housing services failed, on average, to effectively address the needs of inadequately housed families. (Contains 2 tables.)
