Evaluating the Impact of Emergency Maternity Housing
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Housing Problems, Pregnancy Related
In brief
Moms will call and agencies will determine if she is eligible based on basic criteria. If she is eligible, the agency will send her an intake application link to complete, which includes a consent form. After completing the survey, if she is still eligible, she will be placed on a waitlist for services. When a bed becomes available in an individual agency, the agency will call two moms at the top of the waitlist, conduct in-person interviews to confirm eligibility and good fit. They will use a computer to randomly assign one to treatment and one to control. Agency will let moms know of their status and will allow the treatment mom to move in. Moms in treatment and control will be surveyed approximately one year post the mother's reported due date of the child.

You may qualify if…
- Each home has their own eligibility criteria. The main three criteria common across homes are that a woman must be at least 18 years old, experiencing housing instability, and pregnant. No home has an income standard because, by definition, applicants are in a precarious housing situation so most women are low-income. Each home does have slightly different eligibility criteria. For example, some homes allow other children to come with her into the home, while other homes do not. Some homes require a background check and might allow a woman to enter the home anyway depending on the prior offense.
You may not qualify if…
- Women who are not pregnant, men, pregnant women under 18, some homes exclude mothers who have other children currently in their care
