Surveying board and care homes: issues and data collection problems.

National information is seriously lacking concerning the number and types of board and care homes, their residents, and the quality of services provided. Shortcomings in current living arrangement classification procedures used in federal surveys are critically examined. A definition and classification system is proposed that would transcend state and local government differences caused by differences in licensure and regulations.

Benefit-cost analysis of supported employment in Illinois: a statewide evaluation.

A benefit-cost analysis of supported employment in Illinois during Fiscal Year 1987 was presented. Benefits and costs were identified and valued from three perspectives. Society received a $.75 return for every $1.00 invested during this initial year, whereas taxpayers received a return of $.66. Supported employees earned an average of 37% more in supported employment than in alternative programs during this same time period. We recommended continuation of this financial analysis longitudinally, as it is critical to the development of supported employment as an efficient delivery system.

Benefits and costs of supported employment: an analysis of the Illinois Supported Employment Project.

This investigation presents a cost-benefit analysis completed for one of 27 states implementing supported employment as a result of federal funding. Based upon the benefits and costs detailed, society realized a $0.75 return for every $1.00 invested in supported employment in Illinois. Supported employees realized a 37% increase in their earnings over a comparable period. The results of this study are discussed and recommendations are made for similar analyses across states.
