Developing a Program Evaluation
Stakeholder Analysis of Federal Housing Programs
Stakeholder analysis is a technique for identifying project stakeholders and defining their contribution, interest, and inspiration. A social worker must develop a detailed plan to determine the effectiveness of a program evaluation. The aim of evaluation and data collection should be specified in the project as well as the procedures and analyses that will be employed. Communication with each stakeholder plays a critical part in the analysis. The most significant aspect of stakeholder analysis is identifying and assessing the demands of the stakeholders (Chipulu et al., 2019). The stakeholders include the department of housing, private sector businesses, such as property developers, mortgage lenders, construction companies, and private landlords; community-based organizations, such as charitable organizations, churches, and interest groups; housing providers, such as non-profit organizations and local housing authorities, and users and the general public, including tenants, and applicants of housing assistance.
The evaluation profession is multifaceted, comprising theoretical discussions, ethical quandaries, and personal interests. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides homeless assistance payments to local governments that supervise housing services every year. The department focuses on street involvement, homeless prevention and diversion, emergency housing, and rapid re-housing. The rental assistance also involves giving vouchers, or government housing to many homeless persons. Aside from those popular initiatives, several federal housing programs strive to accommodate them. Many of these programs are administered by the HUD. The purpose of the federal housing programs is to encourage the creation and provision of supportive homes and services for the homeless (Chipulu et al., 2019). Grantees are required to deliver various services to promote housing stability, including outreach, case management, connection to benefits, public benefits, and temporary financial support are among the services provided. Stakeholder concerns identified include the provision of better housing to homeless citizens with affordable payment and construction costs, timely information on finances, and the benefit to the community, regarding mortgage interests.
