The Center for Mental Health Servces
(CMHS) will seek OMB approval to continue an evaluation study that
is assessing service systems integration (SI) approaches for
homeless persons with serious mental illnesses. The evaluation
study will collect data through interviews with homeless persons
with serious mental illness and providers of services to homeless
persons. SI sites will be contrasted with comparison sites to
assess the impact of SI. The evaluation will describe approaches to
SI, processes by which SI takes place, factors that influence SI,
and the impact that SI has on homeless persons.
