Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

60 youth receiving homeless youth services will express themselves artistically, in a safe and supportive environment over 300 recording sessions. Program staff will record participation in the arts programming in the client management database. We will evaluate success based on the number of participants. 2: 50% of youth participating in the music program will access Homeless Youth Program Services to improve self-sufficiency. Case managers conduct an intake and self-sufficiency assessment at the initial contact with each client. We will cross reference music participants with case management to assess progress on goals and access of other services.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Pre-pandemic, 14 youth expressed themselves creatively through in-person activities, another 80 engaged with online activities during the pandemic. Program staff recorded participation in the arts programming in the client management database. We evaluate success based on participant numbers and participant feedback. 2: 57% of youth participating in Recording Arts also received case management and other Homeless Youth Program services.
