The Impact of Housing and Services Interventions for Homeless Families

Baseline Interview





Introduction

NOTE: By the time of the baseline interview, the site liaison will have met with the respondent to explain the study and will have obtained informed consent. The introduction to the survey thus focuses only on the interview. The introduction provides assurances of confidentiality but does not repeat all of the consent form language. The site liaison will conduct the interview right after informed consent and before random assignment. In nearly all cases we assume this will all be part of one meeting between the site liaison and the head of the family in the shelter. The head of family is defined as the custodial parent or if both custodial parents are present in the shelter, the mother.


As I mentioned earlier, I work for Abt Associates, an independent research company. We are helping the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to do a study to find out what kind of housing assistance is best for families who become homeless. One of the things we are asking families who participate in the study to do is to answer questions for a survey to help us learn more about the kinds of experiences families have and the kinds of assistance that is most helpful to them. The survey will take about 40 minutes to complete. You can stop the interview at any time and you can choose not to answer any question. The information you provide will be kept confidential and only used for this study. The collection of this information has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget. At the end of the interview, you will be paid $35 in appreciation for your time.

Section C: Homelessness History

Now I am going to ask you some questions about any experiences you may have had with homelessness in your lifetime. By homeless, I mean times when you didn’t have a regular place to stay and you were living in a homeless shelter or temporarily in an institution because you had nowhere else to go. Homeless can also include living in a place not typically used for sleeping such as on the street, in a car, in an abandoned building, or in a bus or train station. Please do not include any times when you may have stayed with friends or relatives because you did not have your own place to stay.
