Evaluation Process – These are standard requirements that HUD will expect every program manager receiving a grant to do as part of their project management.

• An evaluation process will be part of the on-going management of the program.

• Comparisons will be made between projected and actual numbers for both outputs and outcomes.

• Deviations from projected outputs and outcomes will be documented and explained.

• Analysis of data to determine the relationship of outputs to outcomes; what outputs produce which outcomes.

HUD Will Use The Following Questions To Evaluate Your Program

1. What is the percentage of homeless persons staying in permanent housing over six months?

The national standard is 71%.

2. What is the percentage of homeless persons moving from transitional to permanent housing?

The national standard is 61.5%.

3. What is the percentage of homeless persons employed upon exit of HUD homeless assistance projects?

The national standard is 18%.

4. What is the percentage of new housing units occupied within the time frame approved by the field office?

5. Many different social services help homeless persons remain in permanent housing. Please identify two or three social services that you consider most significant in enabling homeless persons to remain in permanent housing for longer than six months. (You will not be evaluated on your answer to this question. It is a research question to help HUD better understand program management and functioning.)

6. What is the value of any funds and in-kind contributions leveraged by your program to provide assistance to homeless persons?

Carter-Richmond Methodology

The above Management Questions developed for your program are based on the Carter-Richmond Methodology1. A description of the Carter-Richmond Methodology appears in the General Section of the NOFA.
