Human Service Program Evaluation Brooke Greene Kaplan University HN410: Human Services Delivery Dr. Annette Love October 27, 2015 In this assignment I will design and execute my own evaluation for Veteran Affairs homeless program. In this program the VA believes that no veteran should be without a home. This program is through Hunter Holmes McGuire and is run by social workers. During my research I spoke with a Social Worker that works in this program, her name is Ms. Terry. When speaking with her about this program she said that she tries to have a schedule, but that schedule can be interrupted by veterans coming in with a crisis or other critical issue that may arise.

You've shown that when the program is present the outcome occurs and when it's not present, the outcome doesn't occur. That points to the causal effectiveness of the program.

I will talk to other human services professionals and social workers. Look at the veteran homeless program. Then understand that the best study sample would be to conduct population-based research studies, health services research, practice research, and evaluation and assessment of practice models and program implementation.

In my research design the validity of the program is good. The veteran homeless program helps the veteran get a place to call home.

It would be used to see what the veterans like about the programs. It would be use to see what the veterans don’t like about the program. In all just to better the veteran the veterans service here at the VA. In this assignment I designed and executed my own evaluation for Veteran Affairs homeless program. In this program the VA believes that no veteran should be without a home. This program is through Hunter Holmes McGuire and is run by social workers. During my research I spoke with a Social Worker that works in this program, her name is Ms. Terry. When speaking with her about this program she said that she tries to have a schedule, but that schedule can be interrupted by veterans coming in with a crisis or other critical issue that may arise. I have learned how a social workers day can be set for a schedule and or have many critical veteran crisis interrupt there schedule. Over all it just made my passion for the homeless veteran even more and wants to help then so
