Children in Public Housing Developments
An Examination of the Children at the Beginning of the Jobs-Plus Demonstration
|
| |
|
|
2002. Pamela Morris, Stephanie Jones with Jared Smith.
Children who live in public housing are commonly thought to be at greater risk of experiencing academic and behavioral problems than other low-income children, but this paper is among the few to explore empirically the characteristics and circumstances of these children.

Take a look inside the Kansas City, Kansas (KCK)
public schools and you will find challenges facing
any urban district: insufficient funding, large
numbers of at-risk students, declining enrollment
and teacher shortages. You will also see teachers
working in teams and staying with their students
for more than one year, lower ratios of students to
teachers in key classes and extra time built into the
day for professional development.

The Employment Experiences of Public Housing Residents
Findings from the Jobs-Plus Baseline Survey
|
| |
|
|
2002. John M. Martinez.
Tapping a deep pool of survey data to learn about residents' connections to the labor market, this report dispels some widespread misconceptions. For example, it finds that even in places with high rates of joblessness, many public housing residents have work histories that are extensive and varied, albeit typically in unstable, low-wage jobs.

|
| |
|
|

Through extensive ethnographic interviews with staff and residents of two Jobs-Plus housing developments in Seattle and St. Paul, this report explains how a range of social and personal issues characteristic of largely immigrant public housing residents can render conventional employment and support services ineffective.

2002. Jason Snipes, Fred Doolittle, Corinne Herlihy.
Some of the nation's fastest improving urban school systems are raising overall academic performance while reducing achievement gaps among students of different racial groups. But instead of taking a school-by-school approach, they are tackling education reform on a district wide basis.

Recognizing that welfare recipients who find jobs may remain poor, the "make work pay" approach rewards those who work by boosting their income. This strategy was the centerpiece of the Self-Sufficiency Project (SSP), a large-scale demonstration program in Canada that offered monthly earnings supplements to single parents who left welfare for full-time work.

Since the early 1980s, welfare policymakers and program operators have debated the role of adult education in program strategies to help welfare recipients make the transition from welfare to work.

Welfare reform has resulted in millions of low-income parents replacing the receipt of public cash assistance with income from employment. But what strategies will help the new workforce entrants find more stable jobs, advance in the labor market, and achieve long-term self-sufficiency? The Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) evaluation is a comprehensive effort to explore this urgent public policy question.
