This session will share findings from a Minnesota multi-sector data match and learnings from the process of matching data between two very different systems: child welfare and homelessness. This session will also explore strategies to identify family housing stability in prevention, child and family service systems. Participants will apply learnings from the data match to identify opportunities in their own work to help advance racial equity in the housing and child welfare systems, so that families at the intersection of housing instability and child welfare involvement will have access to housing and services and improve family well-being. This session builds on a 2023 research brief on Housing (In)Stability by the University of Minnesota and on a manuscript from the Child Welfare Journal Special Issue on Child Welfare and Social Determinants of Health. Lack of stable housing is often a precipitating factor for a family’s involvement with the child welfare system and too often a significant barrier to ending a family’s involvement in the system. The session will examine strategies that family serving systems use to identify family housing stability, connect families to housing resources, and capture important data on scope and severity of family housing instability. Audience driven discussion will examine the intersection of family homelessness, housing instability, and child welfare interventions, using examples from Minnesota’s child welfare system.
