Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Direct services can be provided to organizations and agencies that provide assistance to the homeless population. These systems-level interventions may take the form of consultation, staff training, and program development services. Consultation may be provided to address system-level problems, such as:
• Meeting the needs of persons with disabilities or chronic diseases who are homeless,
• Identifying needs assessment strategies, analyzing data, and interpreting results, or
• Designing, establishing, and evaluating a volunteer program.
Staff and volunteer education and training might include responding therapeutically to a variety of mental health issues, engaging clients in goal-directed activities, and identifying needs and developing strategies to address these needs. Program development assistance would be appropriate for a shelter wanting to expand the types of services provided.
