Showing 1 to 3 of 3 entries
1  The program continues to see an increase in unduplicated client count through expansion to homeless shelters and parole and probation. These programs are front line serving centers for the targeted client population.
2  In FY24, program community aides found it more challenging to engage with clients as effectively as therapists had in the past, which may have contributed to decreased performance on this outcome measure.
3  The survey was distributed to 165 clients and 152 completed the survey. While satisfaction rate is high among these clients, response rate is impacted by lack of reliable smart phones and complex needs of the most vulnerable and low-income clients served.
