1. Data and Evaluation Workgroup 9/10/2015 | 8:30-10:30am| Chinook 115 Family Options Study: Key Questions

2. HUD Family Options Study: Refresh allhomekc.org Multi-site, randomized control trial designed to study impact of housing and services interventions for families 2282 families in 12 communities – Families were in shelter at enrollment – Enrollments in calendar year 2011+ Randomly assigned to one of four interventions – Housing Choice voucher, transitional housing, rapid re-housing, usual care (shelter) Families tracked for three years – Data collection at baseline, 18 months after enrollment, 36 months after enrollment

3. HUD Family Options Study: 18 month f/u allhomekc.org Released in July 2015 Reports results 18 months after enrollment Key findings: – Families who receive permanent subsidies do best in multiple areas – Rapid rehousing performed as well or better than shelter and transitional housing and was the least expensive – There is no evidence that families facing greater difficulties (psychosocial or housing barriers) benefit more (or less) from one housing intervention over another – Housing subsidies appear to be the most important factor in family outcomes.

4. Follow Up Questions from September Presentation 1) How do these 12 communities compare to King County? 2) What is the cost per family for these programs and which program(s) is/are the most cost-effective (accounting for both cost per family and family outcomes)? allhomekc.org
