CTI Training & Technical Assistance Evaluation, 2007-2008
The Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS) partnered with CTI researchers at the Columbia University Center for Homelessness Prevention Studies to design and implement an in-person training curriculum, consisting of two 4-hour training sessions followed by on-site consultation with each team. This study tested the effectiveness of the training in helping three agencies – The Bridge, Puerto Rican Family Institute (PRFI) and Common Ground Community – to understand and successfully implement the CTI model. This project was part of a larger effort to expand dissemination efforts on a national scale. Funded by Mizuho Foundation.
FINDINGS:
- Overall ratings of the two training sessions by the Bridge and PRFI teams were ‘very good’ to ‘excellent’ with trainees reporting that both offered a good balance of issues covered. (Common Ground Community started their program later)
- The overall fidelity score across the three sites was 4, well implemented (89%).
