  8. Fidelity to Housing 1st • Consumer Choice: Both doing well in providing choice, self directed goals, immediate housing without prerequisites • Psych Rehab: No ACT teams, but working towards intensive case mgmt model • Harm Reduction: Interventions are tailored to consumer’s stage of change but has been a transition/challenge for both agencies; Tenancy not dependent on Tx but landlords have stricter guidelines

  9. Fidelity to MI • Self-Efficacy: Staff attempt to empower consumers, consumers accept responsibility for making the change • Empathy: Staff do reflective listening, compliment consumers, ‘roll with resistence’, avoid argument, ask open ended questions, respect consumer feelings • Tipped the Balance: Summarized concerns, explored pros/cons, normalized ambivalence

  10. Client Satisfaction • Tool: CSQ-8 with minor changes • Services: Consistently positive feedback regarding supportive services/case managers • Property Management: Has varied from year to year and property to property. Both projects have moved quickly to engage property owners and even change apartment or property if necessary.

  11. Lessons Learned • Evaluators should have been involved with data collection monitoring from the beginning • Staff turnover impacts fidelity to EBPs. Need to have mini internal trainings till new staff can be fully trained. • Introducing new data collection activities need to account for existing staff responsibilities (supplemental, MH assess)
