Is Housing Stability Essential for Family Well-Being?

This forum will explore the Implications of the Family Options Study, led by Abt Associates for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which examined the best ways to help homeless families. The early results not only provide the first clear evidence about the best policies to help families who experience homelessness, but also contribute to the field’s growing understanding of the potential for stable, affordable housing to benefit children and families in other ways, such as reducing economic and psychological stress, supporting family stability, and reducing food insecurity.
