Safah Grants: Aiding Comprehensive Strategies for the Homeless

Evaluation of SAFAH was completed in September 1993 by the Urban Institute's Center for Public Finance and Housing. Information used in the analysis was drawn from grant applications, discussions with grantee staff, and onsite interviews at 21 SAFAH-funded projects. The analysis covered only the first two funding rounds of FY87 and FY90; Congress did not appropriate funds for FY88 or FY89. Grants from subsequent rounds in FY91 and FY92 were not included for review. After the fourth funding round in 1993, the program was incorporated into the Supportive Housing Program. (Authors)
