About the Study

This survey is part of a national evaluation effort to describe the implementation, effectiveness and sustainability of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment’s (CSAT) Grants to Benefit Homeless Individuals (GBHI) Treatment for Homeless programs throughout the country. The evaluation will examine the effects of the CSAT GBHI project activities on client outcomes, treatment services, treatment systems and cost, and identify challenges and successes in implementing and sustaining a program for homeless individuals who have substance abuse and mental health problems. RTI International is conducting the cross-site evaluation for the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. You were nominated by the CSAT GBHI grantee as someone knowledgeable about the CSAT GBHI project in your community. Your perspectives on your local CSAT GBHI project and services are vital in helping CSAT to improve GBHI and the supports it offers to clients.

The following questions ask about your experiences as a stakeholder partner to a current local CSAT GBHI project, [Program Name], that was implemented in [county] by [agency name] on [date]. These questions are designed to gather background information about your agency, the services provided, and your experience partnering on the implementation and sustainability efforts of the local CSAT GBHI program.
