A. INTRODUCTION

ALL

IN1. This survey is part of the Pathway Home Evaluation. Before beginning the survey, you will answer a few questions to confirm that you are the correct person we want to take this survey.

Thank you for being willing to take the survey! It should take around 25 minutes to complete. It asks questions about services you have received, your work, education, housing, and involvement with the criminal justice system. To thank you for your participation, you will receive a gift card worth $25.

As a reminder, the Pathway Home Evaluation is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor to learn about the experiences of those who have received reentry and employment services from Pathway Home grant programs such as [PH PROGRAM NAME]. The U.S. Department of Labor contracted with Mathematica to run the study.

Responses to this survey will be used for research purposes only. The reports prepared from this survey will summarize responses across all study participants. The answers you give us will not be matched to your name or other identifying characteristics in any reports. No one at your home, place of work, or programs you’ve participated in will see your answers. Individual survey answers will not be available to anyone outside the study team.

[WEB ONLY] If you are unfamiliar with the Pathway Home Evaluation or believe you are not the correct respondent for this survey, please call us toll free at [NUMBER] or email us at [EMAIL].

[WEB ONLY] Please click “Next” to continue or close this browser window to exit the survey.
