This collection was previously known
as the Cross-Site Evaluation for the Grants for the Benefit of
Homeless Individuals (GBHI), but is now known as the CABHI
Evaluation Client & Stakeholder Surveys. These data collection
activities, focused on project clients and stakeholders. The
information collected through all three surveys (Baseline and
6-month Followup, and Stakeholder Survey) will provide the data
necessary to conduct a complete structure, process, outcome, and
cost evaluation. CABHI emphasizes the value of providing access to
permanent housing and supportive services for people who are
chronically homeless and have mental disorders, substance use
disorders, or both. It enhances and extends the GBHI and SSH
efforts by focusing on the development and expansion of local
infrastructures that integrate treatment and services for mental
and substance use disorders, permanent housing, and other critical
services for individuals experiencing chronic
homelessness.
Currently there are 4,006 total
burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is requesting 5,098; an

Survey, up to 78 grantees are expected to participate each year in
the evaluation.
