    Family support programs aim to reduce out-of-home placements, but vary widely in services and eligibility. Evaluation focuses on cost-benefits and family enhancement.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Sciences
    • Public Health
    • Family Studies

    Background:

    • Family support programs are crucial for child welfare.
    • Legislative mandates often guide program establishment.
    • Reducing out-of-home placements is a common program goal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey and analyze state-conducted family support programs.
    • To identify variability in program structure and services.
    • To review program evaluation data and implications for future development.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of 23 state-conducted family support programs.
    • Review of program evaluation data.
    • Analysis of program variability in eligibility, administration, support, and services.

    Main Results:

    • Sixteen programs are legislatively mandated.
    • Significant variability exists in program eligibility criteria, administration, support levels, and service types.
    • Key evaluation concerns include cost-benefits, reduced out-of-home placement rates, and family enhancement.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite a shared goal of reducing out-of-home placements, family support programs exhibit considerable diversity.
    • Program evaluation emphasizes cost-effectiveness and positive family outcomes.
    • Future program development should consider normalization philosophy and stress/coping theories.
