Working Papers on Research Methodology Minnesota Family Investment Program Policy Framework A long-standing dilemma in welfare policy is that while cash benefits reduce poverty, they can also discourage low-income parents from supporting their families through work. Conversely, work requirements like those introduced in the 1996 federal welfare law encourage employment but — given that many welfare recipients command only low wages — can also leave families in poverty. The Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), piloted from 1994 through 1998, was an attempt to break loose from the historical tradeoff between encouraging self-sufficiency and reducing poverty by combining financial work incentives and employment mandates. MDRC’s evaluation of the initiative, conducted under contract to the State of Minnesota, was unusual for its extensive analysis of the program’s effects on families' and children's well-being as well as its economic impacts. Because more than 40 states have incorporated the “make work pay” approach — coupled with work requirements — into their welfare programs since 1996, the study’s findings have widespread implications for current welfare policy.

School-Based Reform Systemwide Reform Adult Learning Strengthening Families ... Funders December 1998 Explaining the Minnesota Family Investment Program's Impacts by Housing Status Cynthia Miller Introduction After its first 18 months, the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) produced substantial effects on the employment and earnings of single-parent, long-term recipients in urban areas (Miller, et al. 1997). Subsequent analyses revealed that the program had notably different effects on recipients who were in public or subsidized housing at program entry compared with those who were not. Specifically, MFIP's impacts on employment and earnings were larger for the former group. This paper presents MFIP's 18-month impacts by housing status and examines several possible reasons for the pattern of impacts. MFIP's Impacts Tables and present MFIP's impacts on employment, earnings, and welfare receipt for single-parent, long-term recipients in urban areas. These data were presented in the 1997 interim report. Recall that the impact of the program is measured as the difference in outcomes between the research groups. The full MFIP program produced fairly substantial increases in employment and earnings (shown in column 4 of

National Alliance to End Homelessness Minnesota Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program Minnesota's Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program (FHPAP) is facilitating the end of homelessness by providing state funds, including TANF block grant dollars, that can be used innovatively by counties and community nonprofit organizations to help families remain in their homes, re-house those who become homeless and shorten the length of time families spend in shelters. Last year, the Illinois State Legislature established a Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program modeled after the Minnesota legislation. History and Background Program Description Legislation and State Advocacy Efforts Examples of Program Best Practices at the Local Level ... Contact Info History and Background Created in 1993 by the Minnesota State Legislature, the Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program is designed to achieve three primary goals: prevent homelessness from occurring shorten lengths of time in homelessness and emergency shelters prevent repeated episodes of homelessness The program provides grants to local communities to achieve the goals of the legislation. The funds are very flexible and use of funds is determined at the local level by an advisory group. The application process for grant funds is competitive and grantees must reapply every biennium. The program requires grantees report outcome data and future funding decisions are determined based on performance.

65. NAEH: Rapid Exit Program Source of Funding. minnesota family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program(FHPAP) funds were instrumental in the development of the Rapid Exit Program. http://www.endhomelessness.org/best/rapidexit.htm

National Alliance to End Homelessness Rapid Exit Program Hennepin County, Minnesota Hennepin County is a state and national leader in developing new tools to rapidly re-house families and individuals experiencing homelessness. The Rapid Exit Program is an innovative program that facilitates rapid re-housing by relying on early identification and resolution of a family's or individual's "housing barriers" and providing the assistance necessary to facilitate their return to permanent housing. Based on the assessment of a family or individual's housing barriers, a referral is made to a subcontracting agency best able to respond to the client's housing needs. This approach puts "housing" at the front and center of efforts to help people experiencing homelessness, prioritizing the rapid return to housing and providing the assistance necessary to achieve housing stability. Target Population The target population of the Rapid Exit Program is those families and individuals who have moderate to severe barriers to obtaining market housing and are currently residing in the county funded shelter. Program Description Within one week of entry to the county funded shelter, the family or individual is referred to a Rapid Exit Coordinator for a housing barrier assessment. The assessments incorporate a locally developed scale that reflects client characteristics and challenges that make local landlords reluctant to rent to a family or otherwise make locating housing difficult. To facilitate client disclosure, the Rapid Exit Coordinator services are sub-contracted to a private, non-profit agency to which the client can feel more comfortable sharing information. The Rapid Exit Coordinator also does criminal, credit and housing checks on the clients that are also likely to be done by prospective landlords.

By Dan Gunderson October 13, 1998 RealAudio 2.0 14.4 Part of the MPR Welfare to Work Series The heart of welfare reform in Minnesota is something known as MFIP, the Minnesota Family Investment Program. The state of Minnesota calls MFIP tough, but fair, welfare reform. Critics say it's a short-term solution that forces people into dead-end jobs and leaves them in poverty. MFIP HAS ONE GOAL: GET WELFARE RECIPIENTS WORKING . Everyone agrees that by that measure, MFIP is a success. Twenty-five percent of Minnesotans on welfare at the beginning of this year are now working. The focus on work is driven by Congressional reform which says federal funding will be cut unless states prove they are moving people from welfare to work. To accomplish that, Minnesota lawmakers designed a carrot-and-stick approach. People who go to work will continue to get assistance. But those who refuse to take a job will quickly find their assistance reduced or cut off.

MFIP is Minnesota's assistance program for families with children. The MFIP grant includes both cash and food portions. You will get your grant electronically through Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT). Parents are Expected to Work MFIP has strict time limits: Most parents with minor children only get cash help for a total of 60 months. You can stop the 60-month time clock by choosing not to get the cash part of your check. Parents must meet work rules immediately or their MFIP grant will be reduced (both parents in a two-parent family must meet work rules immediately). Working Families Are Supported MFIP supports job-seeking and working parents. Families on MFIP may be eligible for Medical Assistance (MA) or MinnesotaCare.

It did a great job of showing the personal struggles and triumphs many families encounter as they move from welfare to work. The parents the series profiled, and many others who face difficult challenges, deserve praise and encouragement as they work to make better lives for themselves and their children. Community leaders and countless volunteers who are developing creative solutions, filling in the gaps between government programs and providing invaluable personal support should also be thanked. And we should recognize the human service workers and job counselors, in government and nonprofit agencies, for their frontline work in a new and very different approach to helping low-income families. So far, the Minnesota Family Investment Program, or MFIP, is working well. More than a third of single parents participating in MFIP are working and 59 percent of two-parent families are in the work force. Family incomes are increasing. We can claim significant but not total success. The welfare system does not work well for all families.

Accomplishments COVERING KIDS AND FAMILIES Covering Kids and Families is a national health care access initiative designed to help uninsured families enroll in public health care programs. In Minnesota, Covering Kids and Families project is managed by CDF Minnesota and funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Covering Kids and Families has three major goals: Design and conduct outreach programs that identify and enroll eligible children and their families into public health coverage programs. Work with state and county agencies that administer public programs to help simplify the enrollment and retention processes. Help coordinate existing programs aimed at the same low-income families. This initiative is important because approximately 64,000 of Minnesota's children do not have health care coverage. Another 200,000 adult Minnesotans are uninsured. Moreover, Minnesota has some of the highest racial disparities in health care coverage in the country. Without health insurance, these populations are at risk. Recent studies show that the uninsured experience significant decreased health outcomes and life expectancies than those who have health care coverage. Estimates suggest that nearly half of all of Minnesota's uninsured population and nearly 70% of the uninsured children are most likely eligible for one of . Through our Covering Kids and Families project, CDF Minnesota aims to improve the lives of uninsured families by connecting them to available health coverage programs. The effort is part of
