Community Demonstration Grant Projects for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment of Homeless Individuals. Volume 2. Case Studies of Nine Community Demonstration Grants

摘要

The treatment interventions funded in this community demonstration grant program represented a mix of treatment approaches targeted in a variety of subpopulations of homeless persons with alcohol or other problems; older single men, women with children, native Americans and persons with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health problems. This report is one of the series of reports generated by the national evaluation of the Community Demonstration Program. The purpose of this evaluation was to document the lessons learned in implementing interventions for the homeless and its effectiveness. The case studies presented in this volume represent narrative accounts of each of the nine individual grants that comprise the Community Demonstration Grant projects. These case studies provide important documentation of the process that each individual service provider went through in designing and implementing their idea of what a treatment model should include.
