Abstract: The Family Options Study is a multi-site experimental study of the impact of various housing services interventions on homeless families. Over 2,200 families have enrolled in the study across 12 communities. Families were interviewed at enrollment, randomly assigned to one of four interventions, and have been tracked for 36-months after random assignment. Families were interviewed at 18 months following random assignment. Clearance is being sought for the 36 month survey instrument.
