Title of Proposal: Family SelfSufficiency (FSS) Program
Demonstration.
Description of the need for
information and proposed use: The
Department is conducting this study
under contract with MDRC and its
subcontractors (Branch Associates and
M. Davis and Company, Inc.). The
project is an evaluation of the Family
Self-Sufficiency Program operated at
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) across
the United States. The study will use
random-assignment methods to evaluate
the effectiveness of the program. FSS
has operated since 1992 and serves
voucher holders and residents of public
housing. The FSS model is essentially a
five-year program, and includes case
management plus an escrow account.
FSS case managers create a plan with
families to achieve goals and connect
with services that will enhance their
employment opportunities. Families
accrue money in their escrow accounts
as they increase their earnings. To date,
HUD has funded two other studies of
the FSS program, but neither can
indicate how well families would have
done in the absence of the program. A
random assignment model is needed
because participant self-selection into
Family Self Sufficiency program limits
the ability to know whether program
features rather than the characteristics
of the participating families caused
tenant income gains. Random
assignment will limit the extent to
which selection bias is driving observed
results. The demonstration will
document the progress of a group of FSS
participants from initial enrollment to
program completion (or exit). The intent
is to gain a deeper understanding of the
program and illustrate strategies that
assist participants to obtain greater
economic independence. While the
main objective of FSS is stable, suitable
employment, there are many interim
outcomes of interest, including: Getting
a first job; getting a higher paying job;
self-employment/small business
ownership; no longer needing benefits
provided under one or more welfare
programs; obtaining additional
education, whether in the form of a high
school diploma, higher education
degree, or vocational training; buying a
home; buying a car; setting up savings
accounts; or accomplishing similar goals
that lead to economic independence.
Data collection will include the
families that are part of the treatment
and control groups. Data will be
gathered through surveys.
