Introduction
Evaluation of the program is usually done to in order to
determine the quality of the program, how effective the program
is and how the program is performing. This can help to know if

program which is assisting the homeless people within the

The two program evaluation questions are: what is the reach of

After coming up with the plan, the instruments of data
collection should be identified. These include: questionnaires,
reviewing existing program records, interviews and
observations. The use of these multiple instruments of
collecting data is to ensure that the findings are reliable and
valid. The data collected from different sources can allow for
comparison of the findings.
The key determinant of finding accurate program evaluation
results lies with the approach used to answer the program
evaluation questions. This important because the wrong
approach used may not answer effectively the program
evaluation questions. (McCusker & Gunaydin, 2015) compares
the quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method approaches in
program evaluation. The best approach is the one which
combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches since it
enables the program evaluator to obtain data from different
many sources.
The next step is to plan for analysis of findings after collecting
the data. The qualitative results from the respondents will be
analyzed so as to know the major arguments of the respondents.
6. This is based on the responses during surveys and the responses
filled in the questionnaires. In order to get the qualitative
results, different responses will be statistically analyzed. This
involves calculation of mean and percentages. Other statistical
manipulation such as regression and variance analysis will be
done. This can be done in order to determine the effect of one
variable on another variable. Results will also be computed. The
final step of program evaluation will be to interpret the
quantitative and qualitative results. The results will then be
interpreted to determine whether it answered the program
evaluation questions.
Conclusion
Program evaluation is an important activity that is undertaken to
know whether the human services program is achieving its
objectives or not. In order for the process to be meaningful, it
should adopt an effective program evaluation approach. This
will ensures that the process is successful the program
evaluated. As indicated above, the program evaluators should
apply the best approach during the evaluation.

Creating a Needs Assessment
· Summarize the purpose of conducting a needs assessment for
the population in the case study.
The purpose of conducting the need assessment is to determine
is to determine the current state of the problem. This is crucial
in in setting the desired goals to the intended condition of the
homeless population. The other purpose is planning. the needs
assessment is key for planning such as in determining the
amount of resources required for the plan to succeed (Witkin &
Altschuld, 2015) .
· Identify several methods for performing a needs assessment of
the population in the case study (homeless families).
The methods that can be used to perform need assessment for
8. the population are such as extrapolation from existing studies.
This means drawing data from secondary sources or other
surveys that has been previously done and generalizing the
results. The other method is use of resource inventories. The
third applicable method is social survey. This entail collecting
of raw data from the population and analyzing it.
· Explain how you would find the normative, expressed,
perceived, and relative needs of the population, and outline the
data collection procedure(s) for each of the methods you
identify.
To find out the normative, expressed and relative needs I would
use survey. In the survey I would make good use of
questionnaires. It’s in the questionnaires that I would frame
questions that would help me determine the needs. From there I
would code the qualitative information to make it easy for
analysis and obtaining quantitative data about the needs.
· Formulate a set of goals and objectives for the program in the
case study based on the apparent needs of the population as
outlined in the case study.
The main goal is providing houses or homes for the homeless
population. The other goal is making sure the homeless
population is able to afford rental houses and are able to have
the houses at a lower price.
· Finally, provide a brief explanation of the importance of
having a cohesive mission statement and set of goals within an
organization.
A cohesive mission statement is essential in increasing goal
visibility. Such a mission promotes unity between the
employees and the administration making it easy to achieve set
objectives. The other importance of a cohesive mission
statement is that it guides decision making in such a way that
9. they will be goal oriented. The importance of set goals within
an organization is that they help in resource allocation and
alignment (Jung & Sosik, 2002).

13. The need to evaluate in human services
Introduction
Some human services organizations have been developed to
address human needs. The human services professionals are
advised to come up with goals and plans that can help solve
human needs. The challenge has been time and costs involved in
coming up with new programs and the increasing number of
potential needs to be addressed. The human services
professionals have a huge task to develop achievable goals and
plans. Evaluation should be done to determine both the extent of
the problem and the success of the program in implementing it.
This paper will examine a case study of the evaluation of a
program designed to help juvenile offenders. This work will
also look into the purpose of evaluating the program and assess
the importance of that evaluation.
The case study selected is the co-location of health care
services for homeless veterans. What motivated the
development of the program is the need to have veterans access
timely health care services by co-locating clinics in one house
and ensuring there is adequate availability of services needed.
After evaluating the program, it is evident that it did meet the
needs of clients and stakeholders in many ways. The programs
served many homeless veterans and help improve their access to
health care and social services. The program nevertheless faced
some challenges. Some plans and goals of the program were not
fully implemented. An example is that management systems to
assist veterans with acute diseases were unable to be
implemented. It is suggested that each problem which may arise
at the course of implementation of the program be dealt with
and solved so that the program can be successful.
The program designed to assist the juvenile offenders must
14. capture all aspects of the case study program above. According
to (Weiss,1998) evaluation report should outline the nature of
the program and give necessary details.
Conclusion
Human services professionals are supposed to evaluate to know
if the programs are supposed to be existence and also suggest
areas to be expanded and improved. In the case study selected,
human services’ professionals were able to pass information
concerning results and outcomes of the program. The program
was able to realize most of its goals and plans despite the few
challenges encountered. They were also able to recommend
similar programs in other communities and ensured the target
population’s needs are being achieved in the most efficient way.
