SAMHSA is the agency from the US Department of Health and Human Services that funds and monitors PATH. The information we gather will be used to help us improve the PATH program. If you decide to participate, you will be given a gift. You will receive the gift even if you change your mind and decide to not participate.
2. If you agree to participate in the focus group, you can share your thoughts and opinions about your experiences with homelessness, the PATH program, and the mental health system. The focus group will meet for two hours or less.
3. There are no known risks associated with this focus group.
4. If you participate in the focus group, you will be helping us understand the effectiveness of a program designed to transition people from homelessness. The information may help us improve the service for people who are homeless.
