In 2009, HUD awarded funding to 23 Continuums of Care (CoC) to implement a demonstration program to implement a promising new homelessness intervention- rapid re-housing (RRH) for homeless families. As part of the language authorizing the program, HUD was required to evaluate the program, “in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the rapid re-housing approach in addressing the needs of homeless families.” Documentation of the evaluation findings are presented in two reports

In addition to the two reports, the research team also developed three research briefs:

• Issue Brief #1: Rapid Re-Housing for Homeless Families: The Role of Centralized Intake
• Issue Brief #2: Rapid Re-housing for Homeless Families: The Role of Assessment Tools
• Issue Brief #3: Rapid Re-Housing Demonstration: Characteristics and Subsequent Returns to Shelter for Families Served
