In 2008, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, launched the Family Options Study, a bold and rigorous assessment of the impact of various housing interventions for homeless families. This study used a rigorous evaluation design to examine what interventions (including long-term rent subsidies, short-term rent subsidies, and transitional housing) work best to reduce homelessness for families in the United States.
In this episode, we’ve invited Michelle Wood, Danny Gubits, and Sam Dastrup, who led this study at Abt Associates. Their research in applied social science focuses on housing, homelessness, and economic self-sufficiency.
