Reflect on the program design and evaluation concepts and practices discussed throughout the course to complete a Program Design and Evaluation Narrative for the homeless population in your community.
The Assignment is to write an actual narrative that could potentially serve the homeless population in your specific community. Your narrative should be edited, seamless, and pertain to the homeless population in your community—not that of the case study.
Your Program Design and Evaluation Narrative should include the logic model in chart form. The Final Project should be double spaced and APA formatted, use appropriate grammar and spelling, and include citations.
Your Program Design and Evaluation Narrative must include the following components:
A description of your community, including background and demographic information on the homeless population in your community
A description of the currently available human services programs offered for the homeless population in your community
A description of the needs assessment you would implement to understand the motivations and needs of the homeless population in your community (include questions you might ask as part of this assessment) and to understand the effectiveness of the services offered (if more than one, then select one to use for this project)
An outline of the data collection procedure you might use
Explain whether the answers to the questions you created would elicit quantitative or qualitative results.
Explain how the answers to these questions would inform an evaluation of the program.
The motivations and normative, expressed, perceived, and relative needs of the homeless population in your community (use newspapers written by the homeless where possible)
A logic model and evaluation strategies to deal with the homelessness problem in your community
An explanation of the mission, goals, outcomes, and purpose of the program you would implement
An explanation of how the program you designed would address social change in the community
