| Abstract (English): | Young people in foster care continue to lag behind their peers with respect to postsecondary educational attainment. This study examines whether participation in an education and employment program that provides fully subsidized housing to young people currently or formerly in extended foster care is associated with better postsecondary educational outcomes (i.e., college enrollment, semester completion, and credential attainment). The study compares the postsecondary educational outcomes of young people who participated in the program to the postsecondary educational outcomes of a propensity score matched sample of young people who were eligible for the program but did not participate using program data and data from the National Student Clearinghouse. Participating in My First Place (MFP) increased the hazard of enrolling in college by 32 percent and the hazard of completing a semester by 39 percent. However, participating in MFP had no effect on the hazard of earning a credential. The findings contribute to the evidence base for interventions that improve the postsecondary educational outcomes of young people transitioning out of extended foster care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Las personas jóvenes en acogida temporal siguen estando por detrás de sus compañeros en lo que respecta al nivel educativo postsecundario. Este estudio examina si la participación en un programa de educación y empleo que proporciona alojamiento totalmente subvencionado a jóvenes que se encuentran actualmente o se han encontrado anteriormente en acogida temporal prolongada está relacionada con mejores resultados educativos postsecundarios (es decir, matriculación universitaria, finalización de semestres y obtención de títulos). El estudio compara los resultados educativos postsecundarios de los jóvenes que participaron en el programa con los resultados educativos postsecundarios de una muestra emparejada por puntuación de propensión de jóvenes que eran elegibles para el programa, pero no participaron, utilizando datos del programa y datos del National Student Clearinghouse. La participación en el MFP aumentó el riesgo de matricularse en la universidad en un 32 por ciento y el riesgo de completar un semestre en un 39 por ciento. Sin embargo, la participación en el MFP no tuvo ningún efecto sobre el riesgo de obtener un título. Los resultados contribuyen a la base empírica de las intervenciones que mejoran los resultados educativos postsecundarios de los jóvenes que salen del acogimiento familiar prolongado.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Os jovens em acolhimento familiar continuam a ficar para trás em relação aos seus pares no que diz respeito ao nível de escolaridade pós-secundária. Este estudo examina se a participação num programa de educação e emprego que oferece alojamento totalmente subsidiado a jovens que estão ou estiveram em acolhimento familiar prolongado está associada a melhores resultados escolares pós-secundários (ou seja, matrícula na faculdade, conclusão do semestre e obtenção de credenciais). O estudo compara os resultados educacionais pós-secundários dos jovens que participaram no programa com os resultados educacionais pós-secundários de uma amostra de jovens com propensão igual, elegíveis para o programa, mas que não participaram, utilizando dados do programa e dados do National Student Clearinghouse. A participação no MFP aumentou o risco de matrícula na faculdade em 32 percentage e o risco de conclusão de um semestre em 39 percentage. No entanto, a participação no MFP não teve efeito sobre o risco de obtenção de um diploma. As conclusões contribuem para a base de evidências para intervenções que melhoram os resultados educacionais pós-secundários de jovens em transição para fora do acolhimento prolongado.
