Impact and Outcomes

Safe Haven Housing and Support Services is committed to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. To ensure the effectiveness of our programs and services, we prioritize rigorous Impact and Outcome Measurement. This proactive approach allows us to assess the tangible results of our efforts, refine our strategies, and, ultimately, make a more meaningful impact on the lives of homeless individuals in the Tri-cities and beyond.

Regular Assessment for Continuous Improvement

Data Collection:

Safe Haven systematically collects and analyzes data on the number of individuals served, the services provided, and the outcomes achieved. This includes demographic information, service utilization patterns, and individual progress.

Benchmarking and Evaluation:

Our Impact and Outcome Measurement extends beyond quantitative metrics. We benchmark our programs against industry best practices and evaluate the qualitative aspects of our services. This multifaceted approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of our impact.

Key Areas of Measurement

We track the number of individuals who access our services, allowing us to understand the scope of our reach and identify trends in demand.

Regular feedback from program participants, volunteers, and staff is crucial. We actively seek input to gauge satisfaction levels and identify areas for improvement.

Utilizing Data for Impactful Change
