Focus: The Outcome and Evaluation Committee is
responsible for formulating a tool to evaluate each HUD

the tool is in the works for programs to self-evaluate in the
next funding season. The Committee will review the
self-evaluations and compile data gleaned from the results.
The work of the Committee will include possible site visits to
programs in the future to further evaluate projects.
