Children And Families Case Studies
Disrupting the Cycle of Homelessness
Metis helps a 125-year-old New York City settlement house determine if aftercare services like financial and job counseling keep previously homeless families from becoming displaced again.
Keeping Families Engaged in Healthy Beginnings Services
A Florida-based Children’s Services Council seeks to understand why families leave their system of care before completing programming. Metis offers data-informed solutions for keeping families engaged longer.
What Our Clients Say
Metis has provided a highly professional level of evaluation services, not only exceeding expectations for timely, thorough, and meticulous reporting but, most importantly, ongoing evaluation feedback and technical support to improve the design and delivery of program activities to meet our goals.
