(ACCESS) Evaluation Study; Revision

The Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) will continue an

evaluation study that is assessing service systems integration (SI)

approaches for homeless persons with serious mental illnesses. The

evaluation study will collect data through interviews with homeless

persons with serious mental illness and providers of services to

homeless persons. SI sites will be contrasted with comparison sites to

assess the impact of SI. The evaluation will describe approaches to SI,

processes by which SI takes place, factors that influence SI, and the

impact that SI has on homeless persons with serious mental illness. The

estimated annualized burden is shown below.
