Study Summary

This trial is for a program that helps pregnant mothers who are struggling. Moms will call a hotline and if they meet the criteria, they will be put on a waitlist for the program. When a spot opens up, the agency will randomly select a mom from the waitlist to participate. Moms in the program and a control group will be surveyed a year after their child's due date.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for pregnant women over 18 facing housing instability. Eligibility varies by home: some allow other children, others don't; background checks are common but not always disqualifying. Women must be low-income due to the nature of their housing situation.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests the impact of providing maternity housing to homeless or insecurely housed pregnant women. Participants are randomly assigned to receive a place in maternity housing (treatment) or not (control), and surveyed about one year after their due date.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this study involves social intervention rather than medical treatment, traditional 'side effects' aren't applicable. However, participants may experience stress related to uncertainty and potential disappointment if not selected for housing.
