Evaluability Assessment of Discharge Planning and the Prevention of Homelessness  (Report)
Final Report

Author(s):  Garrett Moran, Rafael Semansky, Elizabeth Quinn, Rebecca Noftsinger, and Teresa Koenig

Organization(s):  Westat

This report presents the results of an evaluability assessment of discharge/transition planning as a homeless prevention strategy in four types of institutional and custodial settings including: adult in-patient psychiatric hospitals, foster care independent living programs, residential treatment programs for adults with substance abuse disorders, and residential treatment centers for youth. The goal of the study was to examine the feasibility of conducting a rigorous and objective evaluation in these settings. The approach used included: a literature review, expert panel meetings, a documentary analysis of selected programs, site visits to exemplary programs, and analysis of findings as a result of these activities. This final report addresses the evaluability question and offers alternative evaluation research designs.
