家庭住房不足和无家可归对儿童和青少年的福祉构成重大挑战。儿童福利服务面临着威胁安置在寄养家庭中的住房问题，但几乎没有资源和证据来指导实践。本研究首次对家庭团聚计划（FUP）进行了严格测试，该计划是一项联邦计划，为因虐待儿童而接受调查的住房不足的家庭提供住房补贴。一项随机对照试验评估了该计划对寄养安置和成本的影响。该实验将在伊利诺伊州芝加哥住房不足威胁寄养安置的完整儿童福利家庭转介至 FUP 加住房倡导（n = 89 个有 257 名儿童的家庭）或单独住房倡导（n = 89 个有 257 名儿童的家庭）。 2011 年至 2013 年期间，家庭被转介，管理数据记录了 3 年随访期间寄养安置的日期和费用。意向治疗分析表明，与仅接受住房倡导的家庭相比，随机分配接受 FUP 的家庭在住房干预后的寄养率增长较慢。该计划每年平均为每个家庭为寄养系统节省近 500 美元。住房补贴为寄养系统提供了虽小但意义重大的好处，可以让无家可归的家庭聚在一起。研究结果为针对住房不安全问题制定协调一致的儿童福利应对措施提供了依据。
Inadequate housing and homelessness among families represent a substantial challenge for child and adolescent well-being. Child welfare services confront housing that threatens placement into foster care with little resources and evidence to guide practice. The present study provides the first rigorous test of the Family Unification Program (FUP) – a federal program that offers housing subsidies for inadequately housed families under investigation for child maltreatment. A randomized controlled trial assesses program impact on foster care placement and costs.The experiment referred intact child welfare-involved families whose inadequate housing threatened foster placement in Chicago, IL to FUP plus housing advocacy (n= 89 families with 257 children) or housing advocacy alone (n= 89 families with 257 children). Families were referred from 2011 to 2013, and administrative data recorded dates and costs of foster placements over a 3-year follow-up. Intent-to-treat analyses suggested families randomly assigned for FUP exhibited slower increases in rates of foster placement following housing intervention compared with families referred for housing advocacy alone. The program generates average savings of nearly $500 per family per year to the foster care system. Housing subsidies provide the foster care system small but significant benefits for keeping homeless families together. Findings inform the design of a coordinated child welfare response to housing insecurity.
