Abstract: The proposed collection is a set of surveys to be administered to youth in residential services (Part B, Transitional Living Program or TLP) to measure their long term outcomes and effective service strategies. In addition to collecting information on housing outcomes, the study will also consider the living, employment, education, and family situation of the youth before and after their time in the TLP. Grantees will also be surveyed on service methods and program structure. This information will be used to better understand the most effective practices in improving long-term outcomes of youth in an effort to guide program improvements.
