Shared Family Care Evaluation
Between 1997 and 2002, the National AIA Resource Center evaluated
several SFC demonstration projects in California and Colorado.
The evaluation followed participating families throughout
their placement (approximately 6-9 months) and for one year
after placement. The evaluation was intended to determine
which families were most likely to benefit from a shared family
care placement and what benefits they received. The evaluation
also considered: the comparable costs of operating such a
program; characteristics of successful mentors and their reasons
for participating; recruitment, training, supervision and
support of mentors; and types of services that were provided
to participant families. Findings are detailed in the various
annual reports.
