中文摘要
贫困家庭在建立稳定经济基础的过程中面临诸多障碍。本文估计了一项针对低收入个体的整体性、个性化综合服务干预的实验效应。该干预包括详细评估、个性化服务计划、由两人团队在较小个案量下实施的密集个案管理，以及战略性财务援助。该项目在入组两年后改善了就业和住房结果。鉴于服务的定制化性质，项目总体效应掩盖了异质性。探索性分析表明，该项目帮助了缺乏就业但住房稳定的参与者实现就业，也帮助了住房不稳定者获得稳定住房。(JEL I32, I38, L31, R23)
Abstract
Families in poverty face numerous barriers to establishing stable economic footing. This paper estimates experimental effects of a holistic, individualized wraparound service intervention for low-income individuals. The intervention includes a detailed assessment, an individualized service plan, intensive case management administered by a two-person team with small caseloads, and strategic financial assistance. The program improved employment and housing outcomes two years postenrollment. Given the customized nature of the services, overall program effects mask heterogeneity. Exploratory analysis suggests that the program helped employ participants who lacked employment but had stable housing and that those without stable housing were helped in securing it.
