[...] Summative Evaluation of the National Homelessness Initiative 5 1.2.3 Timing of the evaluation The evaluation team conducted the summative evaluation of the NHI between the summer of 2005 and the fall of 2006, with data collection occurring between January and August 2006. [...] Project results from the various components (SCPI, UAH, RHF, NRP) were scheduled, according to the RMAF, to be provided to the HHB upon conclusion of the projects, anticipated at the end of the final year of the Initiative (spring/summer, 2006). [...] As a result, due to a combination of the timing of the evaluation, the one- year extension of the program and the scheduled reporting of project results, very little results information was available from the program databases for the summative evaluation. [...] The Agreement also states that the evaluation of the SCPI and RHF is the responsibility of the Government of Canada.
