This chapter discusses how the proven effectiveness of HF resulted in its widespread dissemination. Those opting for a faithful replication of PHF usually sought direct advice and consultation from Tsemberis. Pathways to Housing in New York also expanded to other cities. Spinoff programs, begun at Pathways to Housing’s instigation and having a shared governance structure, were founded in Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Vermont. Yet as more programs emerged, identifying what was and was not a “HF program” became increasingly difficult, which motivated the publication of a HF manual and fidelity metric. Within this chapter, domestic variants of PHF and other versions of HF are described using an implementation science framework.Less

There is agreement among researchers and policy makers that child welfare services have been slow to effectively implement ESIs. The authors argue that ‘implementation matters’ and present empirical evidence for the impact of high quality implementation on program outcomes. The chapter examines a variety of issues that make implementation a complex and difficult endeavour in child welfare settings. The authors discuss ways to improve implementation through the use of common elements of interventions and supporting planned and appropriate adaptation of interventions in the service setting, as well as utilizing frameworks of implementation to guide implementation efforts. Finally, the authors identify critical components of implementation such as staff recruitment and selection, staff training and support, intervention and related staff evaluation.Less
