Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and

(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of
information collection requests under
OMB review, in compliance with the

Project: Evaluation of Programs To
Provide Services to Persons Who Are
Homeless With Mental and/or
Substance Use Disorders (Homeless
Programs)—New
SAMHSA is conducting a crossprogram evaluation of Projects for
Assistance in Transition from
Homelessness (PATH); Services in
Supportive Housing (SSH); and Grants
for the Benefit of Homeless Individuals
(GBHI), which includes grantee tracks
focused on SSH, General GBHI grantees,
and Cooperative Agreements to Benefit
Homeless Individuals (CABHI). The
SAMHSA Homeless Programs aim to
support local capacity to provide
services for homeless individuals with
substance abuse and/or mental health
problems. The Homeless Programs
national evaluation broadly aims to
address the contexts in which projects
operate; whether a project is
successfully implemented and provides
appropriate services to the intended
target population; and whether the
target population demonstrates
improved outcomes.
Data collection efforts for the
evaluation will include a Document
Review: Project Director Telephone
Follow-up, Site Visits, Evidence-Based
Practice (EBP) Self-Assessment, Parts 1
and 2 and Permanent Supportive
Housing (PSH) Self-Assessment which
collect grantee project characteristics,
process information such as client flow
and project logic models, barriers and
facilitators to implementation, and data
on the types of treatment and housing
services provided.

The Document Review: Project
Director Telephone Follow-up is a
telephone interview that covers the
following topics: Grantee Agency and
Project Characteristics, Target
Population, Stakeholders/Partners,
Services, EBPs/Best Practices, Housing,
Project Organization and
Implementation, Sustainability, Local
Evaluation, Technical Assistance and
Lessons Learned. Grantee project
directors from the GBHI 2010, CABHI
2011–2012, and SSH 2009–2010 cohorts
and PATH state contacts (n=158) will be
contacted to collect grantee project
information which will be used to better
understand how grantees develop their
grant projects.
Site Visit Guides consist of semistructured discussions with grantee
project directors, evaluators, financial
staff, clinical treatment staff, case
managers, housing supports staff, key
stakeholders and consumers/client
participants. This approach allows
information to be collected from
multiple perspectives giving a fuller
picture of the grant project. Seventy-five
site visits will be conducted during the
evaluation (25 per year for 3 years)—60
for GBHI, CABHI and SSH grantees and
15 for PATH grantees. Over the course
of multiple discussions the following
major topics will be covered: client level
process data (client experience with
project services and client flow through
the project), project components and
activities, costs, project services
alignment with client need, program
outputs and outcomes, training and
quality assurance, and relationships
with primary partners and stakeholders.
The EBP Self-Assessment will provide
data needed to assess and aggregate for
analyses the resources and processes
required for practice implementation,
whether the EBP services are being
delivered in accordance with their
evidence-based components and how
the practices are adapted for the
projects’ target populations, if relevant.
The EBP Self-Assessment includes two
parts. The first part is a general
overview of EBP implementation and
will be administered to all GBHI,
CABHI, and SSH grantees (n=127). The
second part is an in-depth assessment
for grantees who are implementing one
or more of the following EBPs: Assertive
Community Treatment (ACT), Integrated
Dual Disorders Treatment (IDDT),
Illness Management and Recovery
(IMR), Supported Employment (SE) and
Critical Time Intervention (CTI). The
estimated number of grantees who will
complete Part Two of the EBP
Assessment is 87.
The PSH Self-Assessment targets the
subset of grantees implementing PSH

models and aims to help identify the
extent to which grantees with PSH
models meet the relevant dimensions of
PSH. The estimated number of grantees
who will complete the PSH SelfAssessment is 100. Both the EBP and
PSH Self-Assessment will be web-based
questionnaires.
