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.

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.

Over all it just made my passion for the homeless veteran even more and wants to help then so
