Participation Outreach

NCAB is engaged in an ongoing project, Consumer Participation Outreach, to increase the capacity of Consumer Advisory Boards and other consumer groups to participate effectively in the governance of Health Care for the Homeless projects.

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. Consumer Participation Outreach #3 asked about chronic homelessness and access to services, and Consumer Participation Outreach #4 further explored the relationships between health and homelessness. Consumer Participation Outreach #5 examined the experiences of violence while homeless. Results from this survey were presented as a poster at the American Public Health Association 139th Annual Meeting & Expo in Washington, DC. View the poster.
