Service: Participatory Evaluation

ICH and the Leah Zallman Center is conducting a mixed-methods evaluation of Nutrition in Housing (NIH), a pilot program from Share Our Strength – No Kid Hungry.

The Leah Zallman Center is providing technical assistance services to the Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA) to learn from their new pilot program, Immigrant Assistance Services (IAS).

LZC evaluated the second round of the City of Boston Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement’s (MOIA) Weaving Well-being initiative. Weaving Well-being aims to support immigrant-serving community-based organizations in caring for their staff and providing non-clinical mental health services to their communities. Weaving Well-being 2.0 followed a successful pilot in 2022, of which LZC was the evaluator.

ICH is evaluating Boston Pathways, a low-threshold housing services program run by the Boston Public Health Commission, to understand the impact on race equity in housing for chronically unsheltered people who use drugs.

ICH has received a grant from Arnold Ventures to build a research and evaluation portfolio that identifies promising existing practices and innovations in drug testing and tests their effectiveness using an equitable evaluation framework.

ICH supported Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) in building goals for the Mental Health Initiative (MHI), as well as assessing the outcomes of two new mental health pilot programs.
