Abstract

Abstract Homelessness prevention efforts face an overarching challenge: how to target limited resources far enough downstream to capture those at greatest risk of homelessness, but far enough upstream to stabilize households before they experience a cascade of negative outcomes. How did the COVID-19 emergency rental assistance programs launched in hundreds of localities across the United States respond to this challenge? This paper draws on two waves of a national survey of emergency rental assistance program administrators, as well as in-depth interviews with 15 administrators, to answer this question. Results show that although the vast majority of program administrators considered homelessness prevention to be a key program goal, their programs tended to target rental assistance far upstream of tenants at immediate risk.
紧急租房援助可以用来防止无家可归吗?从紧急租赁援助计划中学习
摘要无家可归的预防工作面临着一个总体挑战:如何将有限的资源瞄准下游足够远的地方,以捕捉那些无家可归风险最大的人,但又将其瞄准上游足够远的位置,以在家庭经历一连串负面后果之前稳定家庭。在美国数百个地方启动的新冠肺炎紧急租赁援助计划是如何应对这一挑战的?本文利用对紧急租赁援助项目管理人员的两次全国性调查,以及对15名管理人员的深入采访来回答这个问题。结果显示,尽管绝大多数项目管理人员认为预防无家可归是一个关键的项目目标,但他们的项目往往针对直接面临风险的租户上游的租房援助。
