The program components of Project TEENS 2 HOMES individually serve unique purposes and in their totality create a model with the intensity to make a substantial impact on achieving permanency for youth 12 years and older and/or members of sibling groups. The project integrates best practice approaches such as elements from informal and formal social support networks, person-centered planning, and positive youth development, mentoring to generate successful outcomes. As a child-centered model, Project TEENS 2 HOMES gives the youth a central and meaningful role in all program activities. |

The TEENS 2 HOMES evaluation consultant Victor Groza, Ph.D, is a Professor at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The evaluation uses both qualitative and quantitative approaches to address evaluation. Qualitative approaches produce rich and descriptive findings. Quantitative approaches reduce activities and outcomes to numeric form, which allows descriptive statistics and mathematical manipulation of the data. A mix of both approaches produces the strongest information for evaluating the program.
