Increasingly, it is becoming important for homeless service providers to document performance for program improvement and funding purposes. It is critical that providers and programs learn how to document client outcomes as well. This webcast presented a model for involving staff at all levels to systematically track program outputs, use these data to impact client outcomes, and favorably position your agency to obtain funding. This innovative model was developed by St. Vincent de Paul Village in San Diego, CA.
