Homeless Families
Grantee will document and evaluate
the Family and Aftercare Model (FAM), integrating enhanced
aftercare treatment and prevention services with a residential
therapeutic community for homeless women with co-occurring
psychiatric and substance abuse problems who are caring for
dependent children. This model provides integrated, continuous
services in: alcohol and substance use, mental health and
social functioning, trauma recovery, stable housing placement,
parenting skills and stress, family reunification and
preservation, and children’s coping skills. Intervention
elements are introduced during 6 months of residential
treatment and become the primary focus of 3 months of
treatment aftercare. The program serves a predominantly
African American and Latino population. |

Housing Initiative for People with SMI
This project
will evaluate five different housing approaches in New York
City – multiple dwelling residential hotel; scatter-site
apartments; modified supportive housing; single room occupancy
residence; and traditional community residence. Data will be
collected through a first phase process evaluation and a
second phase outcome study of consumers living in supported
housing compared to housing that is part of a residential
continuum. The outcome study will have a quasi-experimental
design and will evaluate differences in outcome based on
housing setting. |

Homeless Families
Effectiveness of the Critical Time
Intervention (CTI) model for homeless mothers with children,
being implemented by the Homeless Families Shelter System of
Westchester County, NY will be evaluated. The model includes:
transitional, scatter-site apartment placement and intensive,
short-term case management based on CTI principles. The
intervention challenges the assumption that homeless mothers
and children require relative confinement and extended stays
of congregate shelter living to progress to sufficient housing
readiness to manage a household of their own. Homeless
families in Westchester County are 65% African American, 19%
Hispanic, 10% Caucasian, and 6% other. |
