This study considers risk associated with family homelessness for school functioning and experimental evidence on the effects of different housing interventions over time. Students in homeless families (N = 172; M = 7.31; SD = 4.15) were randomized to housing interventions that focus on acute risks (community-based rapid rehousing), chronic risks (permanent subsidy), or usual care (UC). A matched group of low-income, housed students served as an additional reference for effects on attendance, school mobility, and reading and math achievement across 4 years. Findings partially support the chronic-risk hypothesis that family homelessness interferes with achievement through its relation to deep poverty. Children randomly assigned to UC perform as well or better than children assigned to housing interventions in this municipality.
本研究考虑了与家庭无家可归相关的风险对学校功能的影响，以及不同住房干预措施随时间推移的效果的实验证据。无家可归家庭的学生（N=172；M=7.31；SD=4.15）被随机分配到住房干预措施中，这些措施侧重于急性风险（基于社区的快速重新安置）、慢性风险（永久补贴）或常规护理（UC）。一个低收入、有住房的匹配学生群体作为参考，以了解对 4 年内出勤率、学校流动性以及阅读和数学成绩的影响。研究结果部分支持慢性风险假设，即家庭无家可归通过与深度贫困的关系干扰了学业成就。在这个城市，被随机分配到 UC 的儿童的表现与被分配到住房干预措施的儿童一样好，甚至更好。
