Wells/Robertson House Program Evaluation

The City of Gaithersburg (“City”) is accepting proposals from a qualified research and evaluation firm to perform a program evaluation of its Wells/Robertson House transitional housing program and identify strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas for further program development and improvement. The City established the Wells/Robertson House in 1988 to provide transitional housing and wraparound services to chronically homeless individuals in recovery from addiction. The program has 14 beds and can house residents for up to two years during which they participate in a structured, abstinence-based program to obtain sobriety, become financially self-sufficient, and secure permanent housing. The program has 24-hour staff who provide case management, medication management, and life-skills coaching to residents. The Wells/Robertson House is a program of the Homeless Services Division, under the Community, Neighborhood, and Housing Services Department. The City has never performed a systematic program evaluation of the Wells/Robertson House to determine whether this program is achieving its desired impact. The Homeless Services Division is undergoing a change in management and is also preparing to undertake a renovation and potential redesign of its building. The City will use the findings of this evaluation to inform potential changes to staffing levels, program design, and additional program development that could be aided by renovations to the Wells/Robertson House building.
