Teaching Self-Sufficiency: An Impact and Benefit-Cost Analysis of a Home Visitation and Life Skills Education Program
Findings from the Rural Welfare-to-Work Strategies Demonstration Evaluation
Associated Project
This report presents 30-month impact and benefit-cost analysis findings for the Building Nebraska Families program, an intensive home visitation and life skills education program for hard-to-employ TANF clients in rural Nebraska. The program improved employment near the end of the 30-month followup and significantly improved family income and reduced poverty. It also had major impacts for a subgroup of more disadvantaged clients with multiple obstacles, including large impacts on employment and earnings. During the last six months, the program group earned 56 percent more than the control group, about $200 more per month.
