Front-line staff may become aware of the prevalence and types of housing problems impacting the children, youth, and families they serve long before key decision-makers. They are also often most knowledgeable about the types of housing interventions most needed in a particular community.
A Housing Stability Organizational Survey is focused on the experiences of direct services providers – particularly front-line staff who are in contact with their target population on an almost daily basis. The basic framework is adaptable and focused on helping systems at every level to learn more about the indicators of housing instability impacting services delivery, services outcomes, and the challenges to staff in responding.
