Overview:
With funding from Department of Health and Human Services secured by United Power for Action and Justice, CURL partnered with Chicago Health Outreach, Deborah’s Place and Lakefront SRO to evaluate their systems integration demonstration project. The overall goal of the demonstration project was to break the cycle of homelessness by providing services in a coordinated fashion.
Outcome:
An evaluation report, “Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness Demonstration Project – An Evaluation,” demonstrated the possibilities of systems integration among the three organizations and their services. In addition, the team produced a policy paper “Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness Demonstration Project – Policy Report.”
