Information collected in the evaluation is shared and reviewed with program staff to facilitate program adjustments and quality improvement. An extensive program evaluation includes both processes and outcome components to determine whether key outcomes are achieved. The goal of ARCH’s case management services is to increase participation in trauma, mental health and substance abuse services, improve residential stability, and decrease homelessness. ARCH’s goal is to provide these families with treatment to reduce substance use and trauma symptoms, improve overall mental health and self-esteem. The population of ARCH is comprised of homeless families who are sheltered in overflow motels in Albany and doubled-up families referred by Albany County Department of Children, Families, and Youth. The first component of the program is the provision of case management services with the goal of preventing future homelessness by providing families leaving homeless shelters with the supports they need to resettle in the community. ARCH provides substance abuse, mental health, trauma treatment, and case management services to homeless families.
