Consumer Participation Outreach

Consumer Participation Outreach

The National Consumer Advisory Board regularly conducts Consumer Participation Outreach (CPO) surveys to increase the capacity of CABs and other consumer groups to participate effectively in the governance of Health Care for the Homeless projects. These surveys are developed by NCAB, with the support of the National Council staff, and conducted by consumers across the United States to develop research led by people with the experience of homelessness.

In the initial outreach effort, HCH Consumer Advisory Boards and HCH projects across the country used the same outreach questions to engage in conversations with homeless persons and ask questions about health care. This resulted in a report and recommendations. Later CPO surveys asked about chronic homelessness and access to services, further explored the relationships between health and homelessness, and examined the experiences of violence while homeless.
