The project focuses on enhancing community capacity, evaluating outcomes, and ensuring sustainable prevention strategies.
Key tasks include gathering and summarizing data, customizing tools for the SPF process, and tracking both process and outcome data to assess program success. Data collection includes stakeholder meetings, participant numbers, 30-day use surveys, and federally required evaluation measures. A comprehensive capacity assessment of coalitions will be conducted at key intervals.
Annual reports will be produced to detail progress, outcomes, and coalition capacity, with a final evaluation report at the project’s end. Regular presentations to coalitions and tailored training and technical assistance will help strengthen evaluation practices, sustain effective policies, and improve coalition performance.
This comprehensive approach ensures ongoing evaluation, capacity building, and the development of evidence-based prevention strategies in these communities.

]]> Wyoming Homeless Services Gap Analysis https://wysac.uwyo.edu/wysac/projects/wyoming-homeless-services-gap-analysis/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wyoming-homeless-services-gap-analysis Thu, 03 Oct 2024 17:38:31 +0000 https://wysac.uwyo.edu/wysac/?p=1982 This project, in partnership with the Wyoming Continuum of Care (WYCoC), aims to review and improve homelessness services in Wyoming. We will assess the current state of services, identify unmet needs, and conduct a gap analysis to determine where improvements are needed. Insights will be gathered from service providers and individuals with lived experience, while national best practices and peer community successes will inform the process.

Through virtual workshops with stakeholders, we will co-create strategies to address critical service gaps, prioritize actions, and establish benchmarks for ongoing evaluation. The final strategy report will provide evidence-based recommendations to enhance Wyoming’s homelessness service system and align it with community values and needs.
