The goal of the Early Risers-Supportive Housing project is the implementation and evaluation of a best-practice prevention program to improve psychosocial outcomes for children residing in family supportive housing. The project, funded through a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health and additional funding from the Family Housing Fund, is an ongoing collaborative effort between researchers at the University of Minnesota and the Supportive Housing Provider Group, a collaborative comprised of 17 nonprofit organizations in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The implementation of this program concluded in the summer of 2009. The Family Housing Fund is proud to share the findings through a series of reports on the outcomes of the project, including the baseline results of the psychosocial status of children and their families at the outset of the project.
