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.
