Abstract: |
Homeless children have poor academic experiences, including absenteeism, high rates of mobility, grade repetition, and the need for special education services. Homeless children are also more exposed to violence and social isolation due to various other factors. This study examined the impact of family supportive housing service receipt on children's well-being, including the academic functioning and child protection involvement of homeless children. A total of 183 children's supportive housing records were sequentially linked to data from the Minnesota Departments of Education and Human Services. Analysis was implemented to examine the three-year longitudinal role of supportive housing for homeless children's educational and child protection outcomes. Positive effects of recipients of supportive housing services were found in school mobility, school attendance, and math achievement. The proportion of children with child protection involvement for the supportive housing group sharply decreased over time. Implications for policy and future research and practice are discussed. |
