Overview:

Chicago Housing to Health Partnership (CHHP) is an innovative housing first model for individuals who are homeless, have chronic medical conditions, and have been recently released from the hospital.  CURL partnered with the AIDS Foundation of Chicago in 2007 and conducted a process evaluation of this program.  CURL partnered with AFC again to conduct this second project, which was a small quality assurance study of the CHHP case management system.  For the study, researchers located and conducted 10 qualitative interviews with clients who CHHP staff had designated as “non-engaged” due to their low number of contacts with case management.  Findings from these interviews were combined with findings from administrative data and case management notes analyzed by AFC staff, and a final report was submitted to CHHP stakeholders by AFC.
