Personalizing homelessness prevention: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial
通过随机对照试验，检验了个性化个案管理加紧急经济援助是否比单纯经济援助更能有效预防无家可归。结果显示，接受个案管理和经济援助的参与者更可能获得其他无家可归项目服务，但被驱逐的可能性没有降低。
Abstract Through a randomized controlled trial, we test whether providing personalized case management alongside emergency financial assistance more effectively prevents homelessness than financial assistance alone. For a sample of young adults and families with children who are at risk of homelessness, our results indicate that participants assigned to case management and financial assistance are more likely to access other homeless programs and no less likely to be evicted. Downstream outcomes are mostly unchanged, though arrests increase. Using non‐experimental variation across staff, we find that case management is associated with better outcomes when it is more intensive and pays financial assistance quickly.
