Supportive Housing for Addicted, Incarcerated Homeless Adults
Homeless populations often suffer from mental illness, substance abuse, and criminality. Interventions, such as supportive housing, can have positive impacts, although benefits can be limited. This study examined outcomes for clients (N = 102) of a new supportive housing intervention. Use of formal treatment, jail contact, and community stability were compared pre- and post-housing. Jail bookings and residential substance abuse treatment signific…
Process-Based Forgiveness Interventions

Native American Women Who Lead Human Service Organizations
This paper presents the results of a qualitative, exploratory study of Native American women who served as organizational leaders in human service, educational and health-related agencies. Data were collected through interviews with 13 women.

Heterogeneity at the Bottom
Lifetime limits on public assistance were introduced by the United States federal government in 1996 as part of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Many former recipients are no longer eligible for benefits having reached their lifetime limit. Local and national studies of post-welfare reform TANF leavers describe their circumstances. This study was conducted in a state that opted for a 36-month lifetime limit on assistanc…
The link between childhood and adult abuse among long-term welfare recipients
Race and Regional Unemployment as Predictors of Exit from AFDC
This article compares welfare exit rates in three counties, and attempts to explain differences in types of exit using event history analysis. Using data from evaluation of an experimental welfare program, the study examines the effects of race and regionalized unemployment rate on welfare duration. The data suggest that factors which are both beyond the control of welfare program recipients and outside the purview of most welfare programs have a…
Effects of a Two-Parent Welfare Program
This article describes a study of time to employment for 502 randomly sampled participants in an experimental two-parent public assistance program. The study analyzed participant charac teristics, work-related program components, and labor market conditions as related to length of time to participant employment. Event history analysis was used to regress a proportional hazard rate of employment onto the explanatory vanables. A multivanate model o…
